Kubota

Well, there's a little more to this story than that.

So anyway, we got a load of Kubotas, and that same thing there.

It was beautiful timing.

They come out with their little 7100 and a 245 Kubota-

Mm-hmm

... and I'd see all the stuff in the warehouse there.

And, uh, they had some M4000 Kubotas that were in crates, and they were stacked up, no tires or wheels on, stacked up there.

And I, I says to, well, Ben Berkeley was the rep at that time, and I says, "What's the deal with all those 4000 Kubotas? They've been sitting there a year or two." I said, "Nothing's...

That was Palmer Luckey's point.

We have complicated weapons development in the United States, and in complicating weapons development, we've done a very good job of ensuring that only a limited number of people can make the weapons, as opposed to Ford, GM, Chrysler, John Deere, uh, Kubota's manufacturing facilities in the United States, Toyota in the United States.

Uh, and h- here comes Anduril, which is, uh, building all of these amazing weapon systems for the United States, and they're doing them fairly cheap.

Some of them that I think are just, uh, cool as all heck, uh, the Roadrunner drone, it takes off, it launches, it flies.

The big the you know, the big boys are there.

You're you're John Deere's, you're Caterpillar's, you're Kubota's, you're Toro companies, you're your companies like that.

These these massive, enormous billion dollar companies in our industry.

They're there with their latest and greatest.

this is the equivalent though.

Or no, if he beat Kubot-

I feel like Janibek is wasting his career.

If he...

So There is a big part of the pre-season period, which is about four or five months, which is very, very long, and it is tedious depending on what environment you are.

But at Kubota, they were very good around letting us come back in maybe mid to late September, sometimes October, with the season being in December.

And that's a great time for three to four months to be able to prime your body and get all the niggles, if you have anything like that, a long time to be able to build your body back up, which is a great part, I guess, of being an experienced player at my age.

And then in-season, it's three weeks on, one week off, four weeks on.

He does.

Kubota just couldn't get him there.

He, I mean, he went to a couple of close, close ones-

Few close ones

Yeah.

He, he showed up because he used Kubotas on that, on that series, and they, they have na- one year, they had the NASCAR car drive in 'cause they announced that part.

You know, there's stuff like that.

You, you stay tuned.
