1:09:40finally, airplane speed. >> The hypersonic >> this this one I got a lot of SL a lot of uh poo poo for. >> It is not 250 mph. It is in fact 500 mph. And I should have I should have like known this because you know from here to New York is like 3,000 mi. It takes 6 hours. 5 hours like 500 m hour. That kind of makes sense. But um what really insens good friends from college told me that he recommended it to one of his friends. >> Yes. >> Um Justin Honstein. Justin, if you're if you're listening, >> if you're listening, >> um I understand that you don't want to listen to any of our podcasts because

1:10:20because we made that one error and we're not acknowledging it. Well, here I am acknowledging it. Here I am. This guy, by the way, that I I've interacted with him a few times.

We want to get Justin back on the train listening for not only our season one episodes, but moving forward to season two. Uh and again we're not above reproach here,

1:11:42right? Like you know >> that that was fair play, Justin. >> 100%. And and we are willing again because the whole point here like the fundamental concept of science we talk about every day is it's an iterative process. This was our first season. >> We literally started it in my garage that's now converted into this unbelievable studio. >> Amazing. >> And we are very excited for what we're going to be able to do next season.
