interesting to me that he mentions mad max because a, in, you know, y yu know, there is a a finite time line where america and the american public got a absolutely seduced by the idea of the trucker as like the new american cowboy. With the beginning being 19 73, independent truckers protest against a fuel restrictions and an a speed limit restriction, brought on by a the yum kapur war, and opek essentially saying, you know, we have entered ito now, paradime. We're running the shots now. And then the end point of it being 19 79, with the aranian revolution and more independent record protests that led to a several murders and the public being exhausted. And i think you can look at two pieces ofme. There's the positive end at the start of this in 19 73, 74, with lake smoky and the bandit and the sampeckan pa movi convoy. And then at the very end with, of course, madmax, where, you know this, the convoy mutates into a post apocalyptic a sort of like hord yes

and madmax. You know, a reminder, in the first one is a fucking cop, like literal ine comput form, going around making sure these damned convoys, these these damned rednecks, get the a, the liberal rubber bullet to the fate. That's tree,

that's regman. So

they're taken off from a barstow, california. Unfortunately, that's pretty close to me. Im sorry. Man, travis doesn't mean anything by that. He would be smarter than doing opseck in this manner. Well, that was fantastic, folks. What a fun ride. I have a feeling this is not going to be the last truck or episode. Far from it. I have a feeling this is just a new mean, basically, that th people are going to continue to manifest a. I'm all for it. And yes, canada, finally, you've innovated. You finally are the actual tip of the spear of a movement how does it feel?
