"Welcome to gadget lab. I'm Lauren good. I'm a senior writer at wired. And I am Michael calorie. I'm a senior editor at wired. If I sound a little different than I normally do, it's because it's a new year. It's a new me. I have a new voice. No, I'm actually taping this from a hotel room, just as Mike and our other awesome wired colleagues did last week from CES. Now I'm in a hotel room and I'm dialing in remotely. But today we want to talk about repairability and specifically about John Deere. Now stay with me here. John Deere has gotten a lot of flak in recent years for keeping a pretty tight grip at how customers use the farming equipment that John Deere sells. When something goes wrong on a tractor and a farmer needs a fix. They typically have to go through John Deere's official channels to get that done. They have to go to an authorized John Deere technician. Now farmers in right to repair groups have taken issue with that. In some cases, they've even filed lawsuits to try to force John Deere to give them the tools that they need, which are both hardware and software tools in order to repair their equipment. Now here's the news this week. In a new agreement that was signed on Sunday. John Deere agreed to a few concessions that seemed to make the company a little bit more repair friendly. But it's more complicated than that. And some of the right to repair advocates we spoke to are worried that it doesn't go far enough. Right, like this was a really big deal in the farming community. And a big deal for people who own John Deere equipment. But most of the listeners of this show and most people don't own John Deere farming equipment. So I want to ask you about this memo that they released because it's a sort of agreement that can affect all different kinds of gadgets that people want to repair, right? You wrote a story about the John Deere development this week. So can you give us a sense of what else is at stake? Sure, yeah, so the agreement, I mean, this is not a law. That's the first thing to understand. This is known as a memorandum of understanding, and it's something that John Deere has done before. In this case, they signed this memorandum of understanding along with the American farm bureau federation, often referred to as the AF BF. This is a national trade group that represents the American farm industry. And what they signed is basically a voluntary commitment for like two entities in the private sector to agree on certain outcomes. And the key phrase here is rather than resorting to legislative or regulatory measures. So part of this is that the AF BF had to actually agree not to support legislation around right to repair. Right. Okay, so before we zoom out, let's go over what the actual memo promises. What does it what does it promise that John Deere and farmers are going to do? Okay, yeah, this is an important point. The memo says that any independent repair facility that provides assistance to farmers would have electronic access to John Deere's tools, specialty tools, software, and documentation. Like operator parts service manuals, things that farmers would have to take a look at to figure out how to troubleshoot something onboard diagnostics tools, there are some other things too like John Deere has this service that it calls John Deere customer service adviser, which it makes available to independent repair technicians and farmers for a fee. So this is kind of like a good faith measure on the part of John Deere to say, hey, we have heard a lot of your complaints about how locked down our systems are. And you're a farmer who has spent a lot of money on our tractor and you need your thing repaired because without it, you can not harvest. You can not make a living. We're going to try to open this up a little bit more. But the good faith part is probably what's worth unpacking, because the big question is why would John Deere do this and is it enough? And right to repair advocates say it's not. Right. And John Deere has been a target of write your repair activists for a really long time, right? Yeah, they have been for a really long time. And one of the reasons I think is just because of how big an influential John Deere is, something like 60% of American farmers have at least one John Deere piece of equipment on their farm. And globally, they have a very large market share as well. They've also come under fire because of how egregious some of their practices have been in the past about locking down their tractor trailers and really forcing farmers into a situation where something breaks and they have to either get that machinery to a John Deere dealership. Or they have to have a judge your technician come out. It means they can't just do quick fixes. It means that they can't rely on the person they know who's a really great independent repair person or a mechanic to do the thing. And so that kind of shoehorns you into this situation where John can set a premium on those services and you're stuck. You're locked in. And then I think it's worth pointing out that when it comes to repairs when you're talking about your iPhone, it's a very different situation than it is, like your tractor. Having a broken iPhone, incredibly inconvenient. In some cases, probably worse than inconvenient. But having a broken tractor when you're approaching harvest season, I mean, that can really mean financial ruin for farmers. It's a really big deal. It calls for some pretty desperate measures. And so John Deere has really raised the ire of some groups of farmers across multiple states because of the way they have really locked down their equipment as their equipment has become more computerized. Right. So right now, with the memo now in place, if I wake up in the morning and I go out to start my tractor and it won't start up because of some weird software glitch, I don't have to wait for the guy who lives 60 miles away to drive over to my farm, plug in his computer and restart it because he's a John Deere technician.

"Judge Deere, who's going to be the special master, the outside party brought in to review these records that were taken from Mar-a-Lago on August 8th. This is the first time that Trump's lawyers and the government's lawyers had a chance to meet with them. They met in person in his courtroom in Brooklyn, New York, and the judge throughout seemed to be a little bit out of sync with the Trump legal team, the judge came into the courtroom and made some comments about that people could pursue their litigation strategy, but he needed to move forward with this review of the documents. And he really seemed taken aback a bit by the Trump approach of saying, you know, maybe Trump declassified these documents. So the lawyers should have a look at all the classified stuff, but we're not going to give you any proof or even a statement from Trump saying that he did that. Well, Josh, what's the word from the Justice Department? Well, the Justice Department's view is that at least for the materials that were marked classified. And it's really just like 1% of the stuff that the government seized back on August 8th. But some of it classified or marked as classified up to levels, top secret, secure compartmented information, they say, look, there's really no need even for Trump's lawyers to look at this information that it's clearly not privileged. It can't be Trump's personal property because its government classified information and it really should be outside the scope of the special master's review. And that issue, their position on that was rejected by the judge down in Florida. And that's currently on appeal to the 11th circuit in Atlanta. So we'll get some ruling on that. We think perhaps within the next few days and in the meantime, I guess they'll just set the question of the classified records aside from this broader review. And beyond that, regarding judge deary specifically in his courtroom and what happens next, do we know anything? Well, he's said that he would within a day or so issue in order with some timelines in it, but he said he's very wants to move with what he called a reasonable dispatch. He said he wasn't going to hurry, but they have a lot of work to do. The judge said a deadline to complete this review of the documents by the end of November, but who knows if that's realistic if it ends up that the classified and Mark classified materials are part of this review. I don't think it's realistic to get that done by the end of November. They have to get people's security clearances in place and so forth. And the judge doesn't seem inclined to move forward

The John Deer Classic Is Great Fun
"Yeah, I think people like talk shit about the John Deere classic really for no reason. It used to always be before the British open before guys went over or whatever and some guys would take off go over early, but dude, that course is fun as shit. I mean, did you like playing that? I thought it was fun. I thought they'd do the big dig all the kids get to use all the John Deere equipment. Rolling hills, bent grass, perfect condition. And it's a birdie fest without a doubt, but a ton of variety, man. I had a fun time at that

"Visiting the cubs. I'm like, I like the reds on the money line plus one O 5. I like Graham ashcraft to earn a win at plus one 79. I like Kyle Hendricks to allow more than three and a half runs at plus one 15. Here's a situation at Wrigley Field. Temperatures in the mid to upper 80s, maybe even touching the low 90s, wind blowing out to left center at 15 plus miles an hour. And the reason why I like the reds in this game is because their picture Graham ashcraft, this season has a ground ball rate of 58% and a walk rate of 4%. Those are very important important metrics to have when the wind is blowing out it greatly. You don't want to put guys on base for free. That's the low walk rate. And you want to keep the ball on the ground. And the wind's blowing out, thus the high ground ball rate. As a matter of fact, in the triple-A in the miners before he was called up earlier this season, his ground ball rate was 71%. So this guy is an ace at keeping the ball on the ground. He also is a pitcher that has the best money line or money line win rate in baseball this season. He's number one in base money line one are money one betting on this pitcher when he earned his team when this pitcher pitches. So ashcraft has been really, really good for betters this season. His peripherals are perfect for the environment here. Meanwhile, Kyle Hendricks is the pitcher for the Chicago Cubs and just not what he once was. His ground ball rate is under 40%. That's too low in this environment, his hard hit rate is almost 40%. That's too high. He doesn't miss bats, the strikeout rate is well under 20% at 17.2. He's allowing 1.55 homers per 9 to season with the wind blowing out. I wouldn't be shocked to see him give up at least one or two long balls. So I like the reds. I like ashcraft versus Hendrix. I'll be targeting bats and Cincinnati side. More so than Chicago side, not that Chicago can't. You know, go deep and exploit the win in this environment, but I really do think the kitchen advantage much greater for the Cincinnati reds and ashcraft has been the most profitable pitcher trying to pitch to bed on so far this season of any in Major League Baseball and he hasn't pitched up here at all season. So definitely like that spot with the reds. And then the other game, again, not two really good teams, but Seattle. And the Oakland a's. Logan Gilbert is by far one of the best pictures you probably don't know about for the Seattle Mariners, has an 8 and three record 2.44 ERA this season. They are big, heavy favorites, more than $2 against Oakland. I like Gilbert to get the win at plus one 33. Him to hold the a's while he's out on the bump to under four and a half hits at plus one ten. Liaison offense, it's literally the worst and Major League Baseball. They're dead last an average on base slugging and OPS. They're a extraordinarily punchless offense and Gilbert as with his 8 three record of 2.44 ERA has been really, really good this season. Also one of the most profitable pitchers to bet on so far this year. So I love attacking the a's offense. That's one of my favorite things to do is look and see who the a's and the tigers are playing. And then on those pictures, the a's especially just a horrendous offense. So dig into Logan Gilbert and the Seattle manners tonight with Gilbert hopefully getting a win for me at plus one 33 and holding that a's offense under four and a half hits while he's out there. So a couple of games that may not be great for TV ratings, but certainly I think some spots to exploit based on what we're seeing at Wrigley Field and in Seattle tonight. Anytime you put money on a game, it's worth watching, right? Because I always tell people, you know, you gamble, it's like going to a movie, right? It's for the price of admission. It improves your viewing experience. It's really what it's about. That is a great point. You make a wise point. And it's also the emotions that come with that are fun, the highs, and the lows, you had a low, a couple nights ago. I had a tremendous low last night. I don't know if you know saw my bed beat. We went over what happened with the D backs and the Padres for you. On Tuesday night, but last night, I had a best bet of the cards Marlins under 6 and a half alternate total at plus one 60. It was three two in the 9th inning, cardinals were up three two, Ryan helsley comes in to close it out for the Cardinals. He entered the game with a 0.30 ERA in 29.2 innings pitched. And with two outs, he gave up a two run Homer to abi Garcia. To make it a four three game. So not only did I lose my best bet, but then I watched my team some of Cardinals fan lose a game they probably should have won to the Miami Marlins and failed to a complete sweep. So it was a bad bad night after Avi Garcia hit that two run shot for me at the betting window. All right, real quick. Let's move to the John Deere classic. We gave our favorite plays for that yesterday on the pod. Right now, the first round is about midway, so there's still a lot of guys that need a tee off, but you wanted to make note of JT poston who was 8 under through 14 holes. And I'll go ahead and throw a guy out there who is from my neck of the Woods, wildwood Missouri, his name was Chris naag. He qualified for the United States open and fared well there, got into the John Deere field, Chris nagle, is 6 under through 9. So we have a couple of really, really nice scores out there posting a nagel and I know posting with someone that you were interested in before this tournament started. Is there any way to get invested in him now that we've seen that we get off to a good start round one? Yeah, so again, just make note we're recording this podcast at 1220 this afternoon. So and we'll probably be posted sometime around one 32 o'clock. So keep that in mind. Right now, post in top of the leaderboard right now at 800 with a two shot lead, data golf has him as a 16.2% chance of winning the tournament. So right now you can put money down 5 to one for him to win this tournament. Also some good odds at plus one 30 for him to finish in the top 5 and I just share that just because when you and I both liked him coming in and he's off to such a phenomenal start and we talked about it yesterday on wager as well as the podcast, there's not a lot of big names playing in this tournament. A, they're taking the week off, they're getting ready for the open. Also, a lot of them are over in Portland, playing on the live tour, the 54 tour. So keep that in mind. So I think there's some value there right now we're posting off to such a great start. All right, that'll do it for the Thursday edition of it anyway to podcast. We are back on ESPN2 tonight for daily wager at 6 eastern three Pacific..

"I'll start with Adam hadwin at plus one 20 to be the top Canadian when all is said and done is the favorite in the field. I don't love the price of betting someone like Adam hadwin, it's uncomfortable, but him as a favorite, but at plus one 20 to be the top Canadian when he is by far the best Canadian in the field and the favorite in the tournament. I think that's a pretty good value. I got to go back down to your classic Johnson DJs in the field. Anita, you got a better, okay? This guy has done nothing but dominate at this event and this course top 40 plus one 30 for a guy who has made the cut here's 13 straight years in a row, okay? He's won this event. He's finished inside the top ten about 7 or 8 times in that time. I don't care what forms DJ is in. This is a horse for the course as much as there is any horse for any course in all of the golfing world. So I was shocked to see that price, even though he's not in great form, DJ has done nothing but make cuts here and play well if the John Deere classic. And then I do have a Nick hardy play as well. He'll be in my daily fantasy lineup and I like Nick hardy at 50 to one to be the first round leader. I think he can win the tournament, as you mentioned, he played golf in Illinois, had some sponsors exemptions, I believe, while in college to play in this event, very familiar with the course, hardy is playing tremendous golf right now as you pointed out and really good form and at 50 to one to lead after the first round. He has fired sub 70 rounds, including one round of 64, and each of his last four first rounds that he's participated. So he's been really good lately all around, but especially on Thursday. So I like Nick hardy 50 to one to be a first round leader as a nice little big money dart throw there. So that's a look at the John Deere classic, again, the live tour is something that is going on this week and first time. We'll see them in America at Portland. So interesting to see how those two tours compete head to head this week both events taking place here on United States soil. That'll do it for the Wednesday edition of the daily wager podcast. We got our normal time and time slot. Channel slot on ESPN2 6 eastern today for daily wager. Well, of course, go deep into those games. We discussed in big league baseball, the PGA Tour and a lot of NFL as well because you can never talk enough NFL. I'll have another list coming out a wide receiver list of my top 5 wide receiver season long plays and we'll kind of do a deep dive into some big names for the Washington commanders and preview their season. So if you want to catch that, see that 6 eastern ESPN2 is how you can do so. But they'll do it for the Wednesday additional the daily wage podcast. We appreciate you dropping by. Make sure to do us a favor and rate review and subscribe if you have not already done so. She's a need a mark. I'm Tyler full, and we'll see you back here tomorrow. I'm a daily wager podcast..

Each episode, we talk to folks in tech. At Red Hat, where we work. And we talk to the people there connect it to. Also, anyone else who can help us learn about the world around us. Together, we tackle questions. Big and small. Ants sometimes strange. Here's our producer, Kim Wong, helping us dig into the question, how do we handle failure? I was curious about whether or not failure had anything to do with a lack of knowledge or skill or passion. But what I ended up learning from this next person that we have on the show was a little bit more insight into how important it is to fail. Hello, my name is Erica hampden. I am a Professor of astrophysics at the university of Arizona, and I spend most of my time building telescopes, which I have decided is the best job that somebody can possibly have. This is a new one for us. I don't think it's really an astrophysicist on the show. No, we have not. And you know, I wanted to ask, if either of you had ever heard of doctor hamden. No, I have not. Okay. A few years ago, doctor hampden gave this amazing TED Talk called what it takes to launch a telescope. The video has been watched online millions of times. If you speak with her, you'll learn that she's no stranger to failure. It's a telescope that goes on a high altitude balloon, not on the ground or in space. And I've been working on it since 2008, so it's getting to be almost 15 years now. Get ready for this ride. Search for compiler wherever you get your favorite podcasts..

And the most interesting part, they actually covered a new version of tech hubs that is completely decentralized. And not necessarily tied to a single city, which is what we're most likely going to see into the future. It also brought me back to my Vegas days with the rise and fall of Tony shays attempt to put Vegas on the map. Anyway, it's a great episode. Definitely check it out.

If you think about the technical problem associated with standing crop and operating a machine through standing crop, it sort of conjures up in your mind this need for different sensor modalities, different ways to sense things within the environment. And those are all really hard technical problems that we're in the midst of solving as we speak. And that's what comes next. It's continuing to take the pace of change of technology that's as fast now as it's ever been and deploying it to use in agriculture to solve some of those really hard problems. And that's super exciting because it's happening at a breakneck pace right now. The farm ten years from now is going to look very different from the farm today. I have seen so many industries that don't have the level of precision that you're providing. Or that still overly rely on human labor and human error. Like, have you guys ever considered patenting some of this stuff like, you know, people can brag about their self-driving Tesla all they want. That tractor yesterday was ten times smarter than anything that I've seen. Is there like an idea of like bringing this to other industries or something? I don't know. I see so much opportunity. Yeah, it's an interesting idea. If Tesla wanted to talk autonomy, we'd be happy to share what we do with them. I think the ability to take the technology and deploy it more broadly as an interesting, it's an interesting idea. My view on that is the problem set that we have in front of us right now is big enough that that's what we're focused on. But I think the time comes, eventually, as we gain broader scale deployment of the technology, we solve more of the problems for us to investigate exactly what you're talking about. How do you deploy it in adjacent spaces? I've never seen so much complexity be addressed in such a simple manner. How many people do you have in R and D? Yeah, so the answer is a lot. And more all the time. And if people are interested in working in this area, you know, they should feel free to let me know. We love to talk to them. We have somewhere in the neighborhood of 5000 folks that work in an R and D capacity in some way, shape or form. It doesn't count the many tentacles of development that we do outside of the company as well. So a significant presence. And it's not just the technology that you see on the tech stack side of things. The stereo cameras that you got to experience yesterday. It's all the technology that goes into the basic equipment. Fundamentally, if the tractor doesn't do what the tractor needs to do, then it's all the technology in the world, it doesn't make any difference. Here's the thing. I had never heard the term stereo camera before. Yesterday. There you go. Yeah. It is the primary sensor modality that we're using for perception reasons because it gives us not only the image information, but it gives us depth. So we can measure the distance away from objects just with the cameras. Anything else you'd like to add? This is the beginning of a long road of continue to change agriculture and it's exciting. As a farm kid, this is exciting stuff to think about how we can take this technology and continue to make farming more productive, more sustainable and a better quality of life for the people who get up every day to feed us. Who came up with the idea of the swipe on the app, by the way. You like it, don't you? I like that a lot. I like, it's like this dashboard. And it turns into this like command center. And it's just so quick and simple, so practical, and then you just get it to work. Probably my last question is, you don't only deal with the complexities of farming, per se. You deal with infrastructure. There is no signal here. The fact that you were able to figure out how to get that tractor to work, even without signal for me was fascinating. Does that affect how many hurdles that you have to jump to figure that out? So the tractor has to be in cell connection with a network. It doesn't have to be a great connection. We send a heartbeat signal. So we have to know what's happening with the tractor at all times. And to your point, that's one of the challenges that we face in real environments is that connectivity challenge. Real connectivity is a big deal. And it's increasingly highly putting communities that don't have great connectivity to disadvantage, not just to use autonomy and agriculture, but for all the other things that connectivity brings. I really appreciate this. This has been great. You don't do this often, and I really appreciate this. In my opinion, and this is just the personal thought. I do consider John Deere to be as much a tech company if not a more advanced tech company than any of the others that I've worked with before. And this has been fascinating. Thank you for the experience. And I really do hope we do it again. We will, for sure. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you for.

"This autonomous tractor will detect things on its own. But tell me more about that. What's safety features were added? Well, safety was definitely our number one priority as we developed this system. Obviously, we want to productive tool that's easy to use, but it has to be safe and so safety was number one as we thought about this machine. And what's different about us compared to automotive is that we don't have to make the decision as to whether to go left or go right or stay straight on a road if an obstacle comes because we're in the middle of a cornfield in Minnesota, we can just stop. And so the system is really focused on just stopping if it sees any anomalies, anything out front that it didn't expect, or even anything with the tool that maybe doesn't look like it's supposed to look or something breaks on the tool. It can sense that, hey, that's not how it's supposed to look. And I'll stop and alert the farmer that hey, something's wrong, you might want to come look at it. But we also know that we can't constantly alert the farmer if a dog or a fox comes out and the tractor has to stop. And there's also shadows. We're outside and the sun and other things. And so there's a lot of reasons why the tractor might stop because it sees an anomaly that we don't want to alert the farmer for. So we're using some third party support. That will take a look at what the tractor is seeing. And within 30 seconds, it's looking at the image that the tractor saw that made it stop. And it's giving the tractor the command to go ahead and start again. If it was a shadow or a bird or something else, that caused it to stop. But our ability to just stop and check to make sure everything is safe is really a differentiator to bring autonomy to agriculture compared to other industries. Right. No, for me, that was probably one of the most I was like, no, I was in a car accident. I fell asleep on the wheel. Oh man. So it was really bad. And I, you know, I've noticed how vehicles today will, you know, they'll have their radar systems. They'll be able to steer a little for you. They'll be able to detect the car in front of you. This is that looks like baby software. Compared to this. Well, and for 20 years, we've had a number of alerts in the system, right? Because we've been self-driving in the field with an operator in the seat for a long time. And so we've had to deal with that because on long stretches, you could go a mile in one direction in a straight line. We did want to make sure that no one fell asleep, right? That when they got to the edge of the field, that they turned around. And so we've created alerts around the boundaries and things to say, okay, it's time to make sure you're ready to stop distractor and turn it around. And then in addition to the perception safety, how many something people don't often think about is when you take the operator out of the cab of the tractor, the reliance that you had on that operator detecting mechanical failures, things that could go wrong with the tractor is now gone, right? And so we've had to think about that in the context of safety, so things like redundant braking systems. We not only break with what we call the service breaks on the tractor, but we can break the machine and stop it with the transmission as well as an example. So those are the things that you have to think about when you take the human out of the loop, so to speak and you're relying on the tractor to be able to not only make the decisions about whether to move or stop. But then be able to execute on those actions. And technically, for what I saw in jute in July, the pretty much the tractor was already self-driving. You just added systems to it, but you were already doing that for a while. For me, what I saw in Iowa, mostly was like, okay, yeah. You know, I go through the fields and I see everything so well lined. So I'm like, I don't drive that straight. The addition is to make sure we're historically, we have driven through the field, operator in the seat hands free, even now turning on the ends with something we call auto track turn automation, which does the whole field without the farmer ever touching the steering wheel. But that's just the point a to point B element of autonomy that farming has had for a long time. It's really this notion of job quality and the ability of the perception systems to identify anomalies going on with the job to say, hey, we're not doing it like we should have. These are complex systems. And while it doesn't happen often, things break. And we needed to make sure we had that system built in to make sure we were doing a good job because no one's going to buy autonomy if it does a worse job than a manned system. It has to do as good or better in order for farmers to want to put it into their farm, because this is a system and the next job is impacted by the job that went before it. So if you mess up or have an issue, it probably means some serious rework or it impacts your ability to grow a healthy abundant crop next year. This perfection is really at the foundation of sustainability of growing more with less getting the most out of every acre with as few inputs as we can. And so all of this precision that's been built up for 20 years.

"It's a seasonal effort, agriculture is seasonal. And so when you need labor, you really need labor, but you don't need it all year long. And so attracting the constant source of labor is difficult when it's a seasonal seasonal type of effort. And just the intensity that is around the labor intensity that's still within agriculture makes it difficult to attract enough labor into doing the jobs that need to be done. So often those jobs don't get done. Plus the precision, like my dad, I grew up a farmer. And he had told me the importance of, for example, a seed to be planted at a specific height for like that alone, how important that is, the separation. I can't imagine human beings being able to do that precisely for over and over and over on a cornfield this large. And let's talk about the tractor particularly, or more of the system, I guess, because anybody that owns at 8 R could just adapt the system to their tractor. It's like, you don't need to buy a new tractor for this, correct? Yeah, the system is intended to be a retrofit solution that it can go on a tractor that you already own. And attractor is a Swiss Army knife. It doesn't number of jobs on the farm, not all of them will be ready for autonomy right off the bat. So the tractor definitely needs to be able to do all the jobs on the farm. And over time, more and more of those will get done autonomously. Okay, what particular crafts are already supported, for example? We're starting with the job of preparing the field after harvest is our first step. But you can imagine that all of these jobs need to be done in a timely fashion. At the same time as other jobs. And so whether it's spraying or planting or someday even harvest, other will likely be autonomous solutions for farmers to manage their farms from wherever they are. So give me a typical day for farmer. Wake up in the morning, make your coffee and tractors out there. What's their day going to look like, for example? Well, I think they'll definitely be monitoring it. We've got cameras and video feeds to be able to see what's been done. They'll be working to understand how much time until that field is done. Because they're going to need to either add fuel to it or move the tractor from field a to field B but while that tractor is running and preparing the field for next year's planting season, they'll likely be doing something else that's critical at that time, like getting in their combine. And combining the field next door, or moving grain, you know, as green comes out of the field, it's not dry enough typically to just go right into the bin. So they've got to dry it to get it ready to be stored. Or they have to move it to get ready to sell it to the market. And so there are just a number of things. Always happening at once that the farmer will take his attention from what used to be maybe tilling that field to something that's more important for their eyes to be on at that time. There's also a quality of life play here too, right? They may be doing something not farm related with the time that they're saving while their tractors doing whatever it needs to do in the field. And that's a huge benefit to a farmer who might work today in harvest 16, 18 hours a day. Doing nothing but far more, right? That's a significant improvement to the quality of life. We were on a farm last week where a farmer was using this technology. And he said, hey, I get to go to my son's football game tonight, right? Think about the fall in the Midwest, Friday night lights and football is a big deal. And a lot of times farmers miss those opportunities because they have to get the crops out of the field. Tell me more about the technology because another thing that fascinated me is the control of the tractor with your phone. And the immediate reaction of the tractor. Swipe. And just an immediate reaction of the alerts and just boom. Press a stop button, and there was no delay. In an area where signal is not really amazing, it was just an immediate reaction. Like tell me more about how this works. Sure. So there's stereo cameras around the vehicle, stereo cameras are the primary perception mechanism, the sensor modality that we use. And we're constantly surveilling 360° around the tractor and the implement, which is important. So different than automotive, perhaps we've got to worry about not just the tractor, but also whatever is behind the tractor and the job that it's doing. So that's unique and different and it makes it a little more complicated, perhaps than what the automotive industry faces today. And then to your point, we use John Deere operations center. It is the common front end the digital tool that our growers are accustomed to using. It's where their data is stored. It's where they manage their farm. And so that is the front end for this application, right? They have the ability within John Deere operation center to do exactly what you saw yesterday. Start that mission plan for whatever the tractor needs to do in that field. And swipe and initiate motion. And so in that swiping action, the tractor is surveilling the 360° around the tractor making sure that it's safe to start motion and initiate motion it warns people in the local environment that it's that it's going to start. And then it's off and running. And from that point on the customer, the grower can really manage that through the application on their mobile device. And so in the morning you will pretty much just turn on your app, go to the tractor, make sure that everything's set. You feel it. And then you will I was noticing that there is no need for hardware in the field to tell the tractor what the limits are. You will do everything digitally on your phone. Yeah, because in preparation for the season or maybe even ten years ago, the farmer drew the boundaries of their field to manage all of their guidance lines and other things that have been around for two decades. So we've got a digital twin basically of that field that tells us where the edges of the field are, and the GPS on the tractor tells us where the tractor is. And we make sure that the tractors always inside of that field. Obviously, safety is a concern. We have this is not a Toyota Camry. You know, I was thinking about that yesterday. What am I more concerned about? An automated tractor or a tired farmer, driving the tractor, where in the case of the non automated tractor with a driver that's been there for 16 hours, there is nothing stopping that thing in case something pops up..

"Thanks, Dan. My name is Jamie hyneman. I'm the chief technology officer for John Deere. My responsibility is really to build up the tech stack that all the products that the Anna just mentioned, that technology gets deployed on to put to useful, useful purpose for the customers that we serve. I'm going to start with a little story. I was in Iowa in July. You show us the place, drove a tractor, drove a combine, had this great experience. And then we have dinner. And you guys saw me go all crazy about what we did there. But you didn't tell me anything about what I just saw. It's really hard not to. How hard was that? You kept this under wraps, like come on. Well, there's so much technology for us to share. It was actually easy to make sure that we wowed you with all of the technology that's already out in the market that farmers are using every day on fields all over the world. So we didn't need to let this cat out of the bag because we had so many other great technologies to share that all have built up to this point in time where we have the opportunity to drive autonomously in the field across many, many acres of farmland. Now give me a little backstory because our top of mind is if we hear about artificial intelligence, we think Tesla, we think Qualcomm. We don't think of John Deere. And that's probably one of the biggest misconceptions. But I obviously would like to know more about the backstory of what I just saw with this automated tractor. This is the culmination of how many years of work. I would say 20 years, which is probably part of the reason why we keep it such a good secret. Technology and agriculture, I may as you well understand now is one of the best kept secrets. It's highly technical industry, technology driven farmers are early adopters of technology generally. So this autonomous tractor really has been in the works for I would argue 20 years since we started to put satellite navigation on tractors in 2002 time frame, and they started driving themselves through the field with an operator in the operator station. Now why automation and farming? I guess that would be like the biggest question is before that trip I did not see John Deere's a tech company. And now for me, I honestly have a hard time seeing you as a farming company just. But why automation informing? Yeah, there's several reasons why automation has become so important in farming. And it really comes back to the purpose of every day, getting up to feed the world and clothe the world. And today, in farming, timing is really critical. If you miss your planting window by a day, you can sacrifice a percent of your yield every day that you missed that planting window. If you miss spraying a weed, it can grow four to 7 inches in a day. And not be able to be terminated and can impact the yield in your crop. So timing is really, really important. Then there's a ton of uncertainty. We're here in Minnesota today where it's going to rain most of the day. So not a lot of farming can get done today, but there's crop out there standing in the field waiting to be harvested or a field waiting to be prepared for next spring. And if the snow comes, they'll miss that opportunity. So the uncertainty of weather adds a whole nother set of variables to that timing issue. And then finally, people are moving from rural areas where food is grown to urban areas. And so the available labor to grow the food that we all eat is decreasing as well. So farmers need that automation to ensure that they can get the job done in a timely fashion and do it super precisely, literally at inch by inch to make sure that they can get the most out of the land each and every year. And I think that's an important distinction to autonomy as people generally understand it. We're interested in autonomy and agriculture, not just driving the tractor from point a to point B but it has to do a useful job in the process, right? And tillage or planting or whatever the case might happen to be. It's not just the act of moving the machine and its occupants from point a to point B, but it has to do the job that the farmer expects it to do. And it has to do that in a way that generates a lot of confidence that it's being done in the proper way. So the farmer has confidence in the actual work that's being done, because if it doesn't do the job well, their business suffers as a consequence. I think that that's probably what struck me the most. In economies of scale, in a country as big as this one, and I was showing my son yesterday how if you don't have a combine. It's impossible for humans to be able to harvest all this land in the amount of time that a combine can do it. I know that it's always this concern about labor. And it's probably one of the questions that I do have here. We have to worry about giving jobs and everything. Yes, we do. But can humans actually do it? Give me an example of a combine. What time does it take for the harvest of a mile, for example? Yeah, so X 9 combine is an example of our largest combat. I think you had the opportunity to see that this summer when you were in island in July. That machine will harvest 40 acres of farm ground in good corn production per hour. So if you think about that to your point, it's just not humanly possible for us to have enough labor to harvest 40 acres of corn in an hour. And that's not just taking the ears of corn off the stock. It's shelling all the corn off of the ears, processing the corn, making sure that it's clean, clean grain, right? So that it's useful for the next step in the agricultural production. And then I noticed that there's even a camera that will tell the farmer how the corn is coming out. Exactly. Right there. Yep. And change the settings of the combine to make sure it's not putting too much pressure and cracking the kernels, but also not too little pressure to let material other than grain like cobs and leaves into the grain tank. Because the farmers paid for a clean, damage free sample. And so for them, it's really important. And so those cameras aren't just their to help the farmer see. They're making the decisions that a farmer used to make on how to set that finely tuned machine to run as optimally as it can. And last week in Nebraska, we were able to demonstrate delivering 93 semi.

agencies will give the green light to a plan for the SEC to take the lead role in regulating stable coins something Cher Gary gensler has been pushing for likening the coins to bank deposits that have to be backed up by reserves to explain the move and how it fits into the larger issues in regulating cryptocurrencies I talked to Todd Zimmerman of Superman compliance services The SEC is sort of drifted into this area in the past It doesn't seem like this would be this kind of congressional action If it's security the SEC has the authority to regulate it I guess that could be challenged but I think it's pretty clear I think I'm pretty solid ground here Is the basic idea here for stable coins which are as I understand tied to a Fiat currency that in fact there are reserves that basically are reasonably liquid to back it up because that's the promise as I understand it of the stable coin That's how it's supposed to work Now how that exactly will work is a little unclear which currency is backed up and where that will be held And ultimately who's going to be the party on the hook to the extent that you have a breaking of the valuation Is this like money markets essentially That's how I understand it So money markets with a crypto overlay Yeah I think that's exactly right So this would be one step in that direction Maybe not requiring congressional action What else needs to be done Because these are just stable coins we're talking about For example Bitcoin would not be covered by this as I understand it Yeah I think look there's a lot going on in the crypto space As I'm sure you're all aware the SEC finally approved a Bitcoin futures ETF fund the pro shares fund which is done very very well A lot of demand for that And then there's a lot of pushing for additional crypto funds those that potentially will invest in future invest directly crypto The SE isn't there yet I think the future is fund is testing the market but some of the concerns with investing in futures are solved as opposed to investing directly in the cryptocurrency things like valuation and liquidity It's much more difficult in a direct investment And that is because with respect to futures as opposed to the underlying Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency there is a regulatory level inserted because of the futures right I think that's part of it The futures market is a fairly well established market It's regulated futures prices are regulated So I think the SEC is more comfortable with that and obviously Gary Gonzalez used to run the CFTC So he is not a new fight when it comes to the futures market I think the commission and many people in the market are just less comfortable with direct trading and the coins themselves although we're moving in that direction There's no question about it Talk about some of the other issues that would not necessarily resolve just by making sure that a stable coin is backed up by.

This equals the workers. It was when tonight eight is our twenty curly will have been for two. He's got thirteen three by to her staff. So we add the opening night of nba basketball. That took place as well. Let's break down one bit so man the braves dodgers game. Just all i feel is pain. the braves were just rolling. I mean they were dominating for most of the game after going down to show. They were pretty firm control of what was going on. And then that. The dodgers off. It's you knew it was going to happen at some point. You knew the dodgers were gonna come to life at some point it just pay. I mean it was an opportune time for that to happen If you're a braves fan. And i don't think i don't see anybody how anybody could be cheering for the dodgers over the braves right now. I don't unless you're in los angeles. It doesn't make any sense to me. But the mega said the braves just had they had control over it. They were rolling and then I believe it was. It was luke jackson who came in just at a terrible pitching performance. It was it was rough. It was rough now. What i'm worried about. yeah luke. Jackson won a third of an inning and gave up. Four runs What i'm worried about here in this one. Does this change the tide right. Does this change how we're going to be looking at At this at this in lcs together because the braves had i mean if they go up three. Oh you're like okay. They've got this thing almost locked up but now the dodgers eked one out there at home again trying to tie it to the. I think it changes a lot. I think that game right. There just changed a whole lot man. I hope the braves can come back into that. And then you know that wa- that was a wild one with boston in houston. I get no one's cheering for the astros who cheered for the astros. You're wrong but that the red sox were tied to to two in the top of the ninth inning and there is a pitch by a red sox pitcher that is a thousand percent a strike and they call it a ball and the red sox ended up giving seven runs up in the top of the night. I mean they were out of the inning if they call this strike correctly. They're out of the inning in a way they go and he hit into the bottom of the night. I'm not saying they would have won. I'm not say they would have won. But it would have been close texter here. Mayor gates gates. You're coming on next week to do the mayor roundtable. He said dodger blue baby. No mayor gates. What are you doing. What are you doing to me to say. Oh that makes me sad. I how can you be a dodgers fan mayor gates now. I know what we're going to talk about all next thursday but it is pretty cool. We've gotta may oral roundtable coming up next thursday from nine. Am to ten am. We've seen done this do this before we did this. What they will county commissioners. We've got to have windsor. Mayor paul renta meyer. And we're going to have eaten mayor. Scott mosier in and of course mayor gates. I think i think mayor gates still come in here. I don't take a lot of sports things personally. Cheer for the dodgers do. It's like it's so it's so easy to cheer for the dodgers any big free agent. That comes available. You're just like hey come on out california's a beautiful place and then like okay. And then they signed and they've got the money and to not only do that but they develop their players so well i don't know maybe it's just jealousy but why would you not cheer for the underdog atlanta braves eighty-eight eight wins going into this thing. They're by far the underdogs. Here you go again. Texture in the talking grill texan eight five. Three zero zero zero four three eight five. Three zero zero zero four three for mysterious. I feel like the dodgers went to in a row. Then it's a bad situation but one out of three games. I feel braves still in control. I hope you're right. I just i wonder. Now do the head game start because the braves had control over that game and then they kind of. I don't feel like the dodgers one that i feel like the braves lost it by luke jackson pitching. So does that start to ring in your head again. Hey we're up. Three one against them last year in lost does that take effect. Usually in game. Three of series is kind of the determining factor. And it's very important right game three road so yeah. This is going to be crucial next game. Today's today's game going to be crucial mayor gates killing me smalls. You're killing me smalls. No you're the one killing us mayor gates come on now that is like like agents said you know the the you want to stay away from controversial topics during re election time and you just blatantly come out. And said hey. I'm a dodgers fan. I don't know. I don't know how i feel about that i've got i've got to have some time to reflect on that over the break.

We do not know what the motivation of the perpetrator is will have to wait for the outcome of the investigation. He said the suspect was known earlier by the pse but he declined to elaborate whenever you have headlines like this. I mean this is what this is what we talk about when we talk about. It's not a gun control issue. It's a violence control issue because if you ban all guns let's say we eliminate every gun in the world just gone not there anymore.

The vast majority of the union rejected a contract offer earlier this week. That would have delivered.

I Bought It. Why Can't I Fix It?
"Several years ago journalists and kepler was on his very first work trip. He was an intern. Us news and world report. At the time he was excited. We did carry okay the first day and i got a little bit drunk. Nothing crazy but i fell asleep with my laptop in my bed watching comedy or something like on netflix. When jason woke up the laptop had moved down to the end of the bed without him realizing it and what happened next. Has that painful almost slow motion quality that anyone who is broken anything expensive knows all too well kicked it off the edge of the bed and the lcd broke on on me laptops. So the screen wasn't broken but if you opened it was just us all kinds of crazy colors and tickets be apple store and they wanted seven hundred dollars exit money that jason. An intern did not have so. We figured why not try to fix this thing myself he went on ebay and found a replacement. Lcd screen for fifty bucks. A fraction of the price that apple had quoted him and then he found some instructions online. It actually took me like ten hours to do like couldn't get the screen off. And i remember at one point. It was like four in the morning. And i grabbed in exacto knife which is not something you want to take the wires but i was just so frustrated and i just couldn't get the screen off to put the new one end eventually jason fixed screen and he used that computer for six years but the experience opened his eyes to a really important story in the tech world. One that he's been covering ever since it made me think like. Why does it cost so much to do this. It costs so much to get a device repaired by the manufacturer. And it's so hard to do it yourself because manufacturers from apple to samsung to microsoft. John deere make it that way.

What Did Boo Weekley Buy With His Million Dollar Win Wires?
"All right, boo. This is a personal question. All right. I've wondered this, so I never got a winner's wire, all right? So like the next Wednesday, right? You get your wire and you get you get $1.3 million or whatever. From whatever you want, the week before. Yeah, we had wires, but I never got a winners wire. What did you buy with a one point whatever, $1.2 million of a winner's wire after you won one of those terms? Was it a bulldozer? I mean, if I'm thinking about you, I'm like, oh, he probably bought like an excavator or a bulldozer or like a gun. Like 15 guns. What did he buy? A big ass piece of property. What did you buy after a big ass winner's wire on the Wednesday? Because you get them on the Wednesday after tournament week. What did you buy after the Wednesday after tournament week? I'd say that Friday after the first tournament. 'cause I missed the cut in New Orleans. I went when I drove back home because it's only three Irish from my house in New Orleans. I stopped off at the John Deere store. And I bought me a 40 20. Yeah. John Deere tracker. With a front end loader. I got that on the first one, and then the second one about me a Corvette. Oh. About me, 2009, then I take that back. I didn't buy a Corvette that went out to me and Brant won. Players, something, though, some kind of little old gathering down there in South Florida. I bought a Corvette so that had been 2010. I bought that Corvette was the only other. That's the only two things I really bought. Like just a spur of the moment by, but I bought me some money and with all the other money.

Classic rick and leading up to the british interesting field in terms of perhaps as we've talked about some opportunities to find soft spots in the market There will be some guys as always with opportunity to get into the british field on the line. How do you approach a week like this and we always talk about the guy you've got to have when there's a field without big names. Is there a guy you have to have or do you go about building a card in a different way rick. They're certainly guys. I have to have but it is just a little jarring when you're paying essentially two thousand dollars more for every single one of these names that you normally pay for just got up to readjust then reassess Kind of change your perspective a little bit. I mean the someone like a kevin in to me. He's ninety seven hundred dollars on draftkings. There's a handful of guys more expensive than am. I find him to be pretty intriguing. He i believe he has legitimate winning upside. We have seen him do that in much more difficult fields over the course of his career. He's starting to a lot better. Which is great for him because he's been generally sour for most of his career and he came off. Miscut really missed the cut by a shot. Which i don't really care about but the four stars before that have all been top twenty so i think he's someone that Is sneaky live to win this golf tournament. Rick rick run. Good dot com. Gimme another guy or two that you believe in a field like this has legitimate a win or at least be in the mix on sunday capability. Yeah i think. I think it's a very short list but the one that i think is miss price. The most is probably kramer. Hickok seventy seven hundred and he's probably like sixty sixty one or seventy two one depending on where you're looking he is. I was impressed. Not only with the fact that he went eight holes harrison english and a playoff two weeks ago. But that's that could very easily been a draining experience. The fact that even made the cut last week in detroit on of course. That probably doesn't fit him. That well i thought was impressive. So now he goes to a place. That is a much better fit. We know trending in the right direction. We know he's kind of knocking on the door a little bit. I think he's one of the few guys further down the list. That actually has win equity rick one of the things that i do. Is i scan the cheat sheet looking for guys as i get a little bit lower a little bit lower who maybe last year at this time. From a draft kings pricing perspective would have been much higher and We talk about guys and the runs that they go on from a perception standpoint..

"You know to to your point with a tractor and a planter and that tracker implant or taking the prescription that the farmer developed with the the yield data that they took from the previous harvest. And they're using that prescription to apply changes to that field in real time right as they're going through the field with the existing data from the yield map and the data in real time that they're collecting with the tractor to modify things like seating rate and modify things like fertilizer rate and all of those things in order to make sure that they're minimizing the inputs to the operation while at the same time working to maximize the output and that data then is going into the cloud in their referencing. It that track for example that the tractor in the planter took through the field is being used to inform the sprayer when the sprayer goes into the field after emergence in the crops. Come out of the ground. It's being used to inform that sprayer with the optimal path is to drive through the field in order to spray only what needs to be sprayed and no more to damage the crop. The least amount possible all in an effort to to optimize that productivity at the end of year to to make that yield map that is the scorecard a report card at the end of the year for the farmer to make that. Turn out to have a better grade. That's a lot of data who collects. It is a john deere collecting ed. Can i hired a third party sas software company to manage that data for me. How does that part work. Yeah great question. So i would say a a significant amount of that. Data's collected on the fly while the machines are are in the field and its collected the case of deer machines by dear equipment running through the field There are other companies that create the data and they can be imported into things like the deer operation center so that you have the data from whatever source that you wanted to collected. I think the important thing there is this storm. It's been more difficult to get the data off the machine because of connectivity limitations into a database that you can actually do something with it today You know the disproportionate number machines enlarge. Agriculture are connected. They're connected through terrestrial cell networks. They're streaming data bi directionally for to the cloud and back from the cloud and so that data connectivity infrastructure. That's been built out over. The last decade has really enabled two way communication and and has taken sort of the friction out of getting the data off of a mobile piece of equipment And so it's happening seamlessly for that operator. And and that's a benefit because they can act on it then and more near real time as opposed to having to wait for somebody to upload data at some point in the future. Tuesday is the farmers data. John deere's as their terms of service agreement for a combine has certainly turned to service agreement that our positions pretty simple. It's it's the farmer's data. They control it so if they want to share it through an api with somebody that is a trusted adviser from from their perspective. They have the right to do that. if they don't wanna share it they don't have to do that. It is their data to control. Is it portable. I mean when. I say there are computer problems here. I'm like ken. y tractor. Deliver an excel file like. Yeah they certainly can export the data in in form factors that are convenient for them. And they do they'll spreadsheet. Math is still routinely done on the farm they can utilize a spreadsheet to do to do some basic data analytics. If they want. I would tell you though that that what's happening. Is that the amount of data that is being collected in in curated and made available to them to draw insights from is so massive while you can still use spreadsheets to manipulate some of it. It's just not tractable in all cases and so now that's that's why we're building functionality into things like the operation center to help do data analytics and serve up insights growers. It's their data. They can choose to to look at the insights or not but we consider those insights up to them because the data an analysis part of this problem is becoming significantly larger because the data sets are so complex and large. Not to mention the fact that you've got more data coming in all the time. Different sensors are being applied. We can measure different things you know. There's unique pieces of information that are coming in and routinely building to this overall ecosystems of data that they have at their disposal. We've talked a lot about the feedback loop of data with machinery in particular. There's one really important component to this. Which is the seeds are a lot of manufacturers out in the world they want this data the gmo. They can adjust the seeds to different locations. Where do they come into the mix. The data from our perspective is is the. It's the farmer's data right. They're the ones who are controlling the access to it. So if they want to share their data with with someone that they are they have that ability to do it and the and they do today right. they'll they'll share their yield map with whoever their local seed seed salesman is right and and try to optimize the seed variety for the next planting season in the spring and so that data exists. It's not are so we're not at liberty to share it with eight companies and we don't it has to come through the grower because it's their productivity data that they're the ones that have the to share it. We don't have a lot of data. Maybe you can't share it widely but you can aggregate it. You must have a very unique view of climate change right. You must see where the food ways are. Moving or different kinds of crops are succeeding and failing. What is your view of climate change. How what is your perspective on it. Given the amount of data that you're taking it. Yeah it's a great question. The reality is for us that we're sort of hindered answering that question by the recency of the data as we have You know broadscale data acquisition from production. Agriculture is really only a five to ten year old phenomenon. Right and so the data sets are getting richer. They're getting better. We have the opportunity to see trends in that data across the data sets the it exists today. But i think it's too early. I don't think the data's mature enough yet for us to be able to draw any conclusions from a climate change perspective with respect of the data. That we have the other thing that i'll add. Is that the data. Intensity is not universal across the globe. Right so if you think of climate change and global perspective. We've got a lot of data for north america. A fair amount of data that gets taken by growers in in europe A little bit in in south america. But it's not rich enough across the global agricultural footprint for us to be able to make any sort of statements about how climate change is impacting..

"Mcdonalds email to its franchisees. Was basically as you said it said. You're you're voiding. The warranty on the taylor hardware which are basically required to us and you may be exposing your employees to bodily harm. Of course franchisees were would be. I guess free to ignore those warnings. Except for the fact that i think the the implicit message that e mail was that this that we don't want you using these things so you shouldn't use them right. Yeah you know it mentioned so it said that but it also mentions that it also mentioned confidential information in that You know kitsch access all of the systems confidential information and this is why again. I'm going back to your rights repair issues. These are the exact same arguments that you hear time and again from whatever that whether it's medical device whether it's an automobile whether it is a Home appliance the three legs of the stool. Our intellectual property warranty void warranty and physical harm and physical safety. Those are the three just kind of reliable like malaria. Curly of the of the anti repair argument is particularly interesting on this case about the mcdonald's machine because confidential information is is another again. I'm not I'm one of the last people to stand behind Or defense you know companies like apple and samsung but at least they make some effort right like some. Some efforts actually define what confidential information is. I mean if you look at this situation. The mcdonald's ice cream machine. They mentioned confidential information. But are there implies. It's their confidential information when really it's actually the owner of the machines confidential information but they never make that clear and so it's a it's a very interesting Head scratcher in which you like. What is going on with this machine and and the ecosystem lewis makes it while we're at it. Let's dispense with the warranty argument. Magnuson moss the federal warranty acmes. It really clear that you know you you do not void the warranty by having e either servicing it yourself or having an independent service person work on it or anything like that. So the whole you know by attaching to catch device you're voiding. The warranty is clearly not supported by federal law. But you're right. What this reminds me of. Actually a lot is the situation on farms right now with john. Deere and data that dedere equipment is collecting from farms soil moisture data weather data and sell on That deer considers it's proprietary information and in fact resells at a at a hefty profit and yet many people are like well. That's the farmers data. They should have a say into whether that gets collected and resold an and it would seem to be the same really the same question. Whose data is it. It's my franchise. My customers isn't it. My data But but apparently not well especially because it's not defined to and you know mcdonalds. John deere probably unfairly. Certainly in an unbalanced way makes the claim that it's their data. But taylor at mcdonald's in some taylor. Mcdonald's make no effort to actually define that or to try and make that argument. they just. It's very interesting. That taylor is a logo. This like nineteen seventy s or nineteen eighty s era kind of crowd. And it's like. They're they literally think they're king and they can just to create a stuff that oh by the way this void your warranty and guess. What is our confidential data. Like you know what you're not saying. This is america. You can't just decrease often have it happen. What do you think what was the response of the franchisees to that message. I guess from your standpoint as a business owner obviously it was a big blow to your business but did you hear back from them on on the specifics of that hoban who would. What do they mean at saturday dr that it was my data or any kind of questioning of that or is it more like. I don't want to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. And i'm just gonna do what they tell me to do and not ask was both. I think it was both. I mean. there's this is. It's both the same time it's like. Hey part of the system It's the system is doing a lot of things that i don't agree with but at the same time. I'm going to completely Sympathetic to catch. Because again it goes back to the rebellion of franchisees in the first place. Why would they have to you know when you when you kind of have to when you look at the existence and growth of kit which is basically a vaccine you know to to a virus that was created you have to. You can't acknowledge the growth of the vaccine without acknowledging the virus and so this this was obviously a slap in the face to the mcdonalds industrial complex that produces this machine but on one hand it was clearly a necessary vaccine technology that That the franchisees still stand behind they still use on so like use analogies and metaphors and it's kind of like being i never. I never supported the war in afghanistan right. But it's like. I'm still still in america so pay taxes so it's like on one hand you don't support this war effort and you don't support you're going there but it's like you're still part of this system and i as a citizen and very powerless to impact. What goes what goes on in washington support afghanistan. I'm not to pay my taxes. Because i don't want the money you know like i mean you can. You can certainly right. That's right the. Irs franchisees are are very much in the same situation. They're like listen we. This is their afghanistan where they don't
