Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Hello, welcome to the show.
Speaker 1: Wherever you are, however you're listening, thanks for being with us.
Speaker 1: It's the JB and Sandy Show to all of you
Speaker 1: new listeners that have just found us. And that's happening
Speaker 1: every single day about it. Hey, I get a message
Speaker 1: from someone that says, I just found you, guys, all,
Speaker 1: I bumped into somebody. I bumped into someone over the
Speaker 1: weekend when we went to breakfast and Jim some guy
Speaker 1: came up. He goes, hey, I just found you and
Speaker 1: JB on the radio, and he didn't know who Trisha was,
Speaker 1: and sure feelings were hurt.
Speaker 2: I did not. My name is Sandy, this is JB. Hello,
Speaker 2: Tricia's here as well. Hi everybody.
Speaker 1: And I got to say, JB bounce something off of us.
Speaker 1: And my initial reaction was, Elon, you're pushing it. You're
Speaker 1: pushing it down, You're pushing it. So Elon Musk has
Speaker 1: moved on to other things, and here's his latest and
Speaker 1: greatest idea.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to know what you guys think. Everyone
Speaker 3: listening to just process this and try try the best
Speaker 3: you can to take politics out of this. For the moment,
Speaker 3: I know Elon is a very polarizing, polarizing figure. Right,
Speaker 3: Let's try to take that out of the equation for
Speaker 3: a minute. Because he's building some cool things, there's no
Speaker 3: doubt about that. So he has not only does he
Speaker 3: have Neuralink and Starlink and Tessela and all that stuff,
Speaker 3: but you may or may not know, he has the
Speaker 3: Boring Company, which I think is a great name, and
Speaker 3: it's about boring underground and stuff like that. So he
Speaker 3: has proposed and it's going to cost at least twenty billion.
Speaker 3: You know, everything costs more by the time you actually
Speaker 3: get into it. A New York to London and or
Speaker 3: back underground or underwater tunnel, you can go from New
Speaker 3: York to London in sixty minutes. Oh, I mean, it's
Speaker 3: it's I mean, so what he's figured out with with
Speaker 3: the you know, with the under with the tunnel stuff
Speaker 3: I've looked into, like you you you get rid of friction.
Speaker 3: That's what limits speed right right and keeps it from
Speaker 3: burning up at that speed. You if you limit friction.
Speaker 3: And then he uses a lot of the propulsion that
Speaker 3: they they've built in uh, you know, for his for
Speaker 3: the rockets, for the rocket stuff. I forget the name
Speaker 3: of that kind. I know, I can't think.
Speaker 2: Yes so many. Uh.
Speaker 3: I don't have a ton of details on how it works.
Speaker 3: But I've seen some videos of his tunnels. He's built
Speaker 3: some tunnels that only tests teslas can go under.
Speaker 2: Have you seen those? I didn't know he had completed
Speaker 2: a tunnel, To be honest with you, I think I
Speaker 2: think he's done some small ones.
Speaker 3: I think he's done some small ones to test it
Speaker 3: where teslas can go under because they're autonomous and just
Speaker 3: you put it in autopilot and everyone zips through the tunnel.
Speaker 2: He's got some great ideas.
Speaker 3: Remember there were rumors he wanted to do a test
Speaker 3: under I thirty five and Kyle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember he wanted to do it on I
Speaker 2: thirty five. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he wanted a tunnel under it, Like it's an
Speaker 3: answer to a lot of our problems in a city
Speaker 3: like Austin. I'm kind of getting off topic from the
Speaker 3: New York I.
Speaker 1: Think I think Elon with this is this fairly new news,
Speaker 1: like this thewrk Okay. I think Elon is masterful of distracting,
Speaker 1: like he is a master of going from all right,
Speaker 1: let's distract the idiot public with the next new shiny objects,
Speaker 1: so they are not mad at me anymore or want
Speaker 1: to kill me or like that. Let's just divert their
Speaker 1: attention to this. There's a lot of people that are
Speaker 1: really good at that, really really good.
Speaker 4: Also, isn't his current project with the rockets which I
Speaker 4: still can't think of the name of that SpaceX some
Speaker 4: of his rockets still blowing up? Have they not perfected that? Like,
Speaker 4: maybe like, get all your ducks in the row with
Speaker 4: your current project. Aren't we still recalling cyber trucks every
Speaker 4: month for some kind of an issue.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the cyber truck officially declared a flop by a
Speaker 1: lot of motorsport people.
Speaker 4: And maybe perfect what you have going on before you
Speaker 4: start shoving people under the ocean into tunnels.
Speaker 1: That worked on a short having people under Here's the
Speaker 1: thing that I didn't know about. A friend of mine
Speaker 1: who's a Tesla owner told me that eventually, and it's
Speaker 1: already happening in some parts of the world, you'll be
Speaker 1: charging your Tesla as you drive, like on the road.
Speaker 1: The road will be the grid mm hmm that will
Speaker 1: charge Because eventually I also think that remember, you know,
Speaker 1: you don't have to plug your phone in anymore to
Speaker 1: charge it. I think the car will be the same
Speaker 1: thing where you just drive over top of something. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: because you know, plugging it into a real hassole, such
Speaker 1: a pain pain get out and plugging in.
Speaker 3: Well, if it's charging while you're going, then your range increases.
Speaker 3: Oh and that's a big obstacle for me. I'm not
Speaker 3: going to go spend that much money on an electric
Speaker 3: car where I can't without worry, you know, right right,
Speaker 3: Oklahoma City or something, I don't know, Oklahoma.
Speaker 4: See, my friend Tasha has a Kiya electric vehicle. Now
Speaker 4: I don't know what their charging capacity is compared to
Speaker 4: a Tesla, but she lives in Dallas and has to
Speaker 4: stop a little outside of Waco to charge for about
Speaker 4: a half hour to make it to Austin.
Speaker 1: That's okay, No, Tesla has no problem doing that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Tesla can go Austin to Dallas, no problem. It depends
Speaker 1: on which one is because my friend did it. My friend,
Speaker 1: my friend David has one, and.
Speaker 3: I know that like kind of the standard now is
Speaker 3: what four hundred mile range ish give or take is
Speaker 3: a good one.
Speaker 2: So that'll definitely get you to Dallas, no problem.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, but you know, going New York to London
Speaker 1: in sixty minutes, I don't know that the body.
Speaker 2: Can the body handle it?
Speaker 1: Maybe goods and stuff, but can the body handle that
Speaker 1: kind of speed.
Speaker 3: Seriously, I think once you're in there, you don't know.
Speaker 3: You're just moving, you know.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I've done the chunnel from London to Paris.
Speaker 2: It was kind of cool.
Speaker 4: It's not at all at the speeds that he's talking about.
Speaker 4: But I will let you know that I was incredibly
Speaker 4: uncomfortable and aware of the fact that.
Speaker 2: I was underwater. I'll tell you why.
Speaker 4: I was also mad that the walls weren't see through
Speaker 4: so I could see the fish.
Speaker 2: I was kind of expecting that.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I saw one of the funniest commercials
Speaker 1: I've ever seen on television.
Speaker 2: You just made me think of it, Tricia.
Speaker 1: So you know, the Stanley Cup playoffs just wrapped up,
Speaker 1: right and Florida won back to back. But they had
Speaker 1: a commercial of a former hockey player who was one
Speaker 1: of those guys that was always in the penalty box, right.
Speaker 1: He was just a fighter and a scrapper and he
Speaker 1: was that guy. So they did a commercial I don't
Speaker 1: even know who it was for But he's sitting in
Speaker 1: his living room watching hockey on TV in his glass
Speaker 1: walls and windows all around his house have fans in
Speaker 1: hockey sweaters and pressed up against the glass.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he goes.
Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time in my career watching
Speaker 1: hockey from the penalty box.
Speaker 2: They make me comfortable, very really really funny. It was good. Sound.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll see what what Elon does with getting you
Speaker 1: from New York City to London in sixty minutes.
Speaker 2: Hell, you can't go BUTDA to downtown Austin.
Speaker 3: And I know, let's picture this, you know, if he
Speaker 3: builds a tunnel, let's go. Let's go to where it
Speaker 3: matters most home.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: If you could go down a tunnel at Abia and
Speaker 3: pop up at the edge of downtown or in downtown,
Speaker 3: how amazing would that be?
Speaker 2: Be pretty sweet? That'd be like a five minute drive. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just can't imagine how much the environmental study will
Speaker 1: cost to go underneath the Atlantic Ocean.
Speaker 4: All the rollamanders would die for a tunnel from the
Speaker 4: airport to downtown Austin.
Speaker 3: Or imagine you exit I thirty five, take the tunnel
Speaker 3: option and pop out in Westlake. Yeah, that'd be east
Speaker 3: to west, east to west like that would be unbelievable.
Speaker 1: I still think if the Willy Wonka Flying Machine would
Speaker 1: be the best of everybody.
Speaker 3: All that broken glass elevators, that's what you have placed,
Speaker 3: the glass ceiling every time, every time,
