This is the LogoTire podcast. We back. I have been on the road not even thinking about work for 14 days.

I have to be honest with you. It's fucking delightful. Absolutely delightful. I don't feel a hint to guilt about it. It was great luxury vacation across Europe, adventure drives and back to work now.

So we got a double header podcast coming to you today. We are going to start with an interesting discussion. Hopefully about radar textures with Ariel Ravi of Vortex radar. How are you?

Good. Good. How are you?

Good. Thank you. We will come back. We are welcome from October Fest. Are you Charmann?

I'm Charmann. I'm Mr. Charmann. Are you German? No, I took German in high school. You brought it with you.

I know a little bit. You have an Alamondouch for Gessen. You would have done well in October Fest. To make sure I can say that.

October Fest is where all of that comes in very, very handy. I believe it. Although frankly beer is beer in both languages.

We are in Munich. That's supposed to be. It's October Fest is crazy. It is crazy. We can talk about it later. Let's get into radar detectors first.

You are a radar detector enthusiast. Are you a scientist? Are you a tester?

Yeah. I don't know. It's kind of fun. Everybody, they try to say are you an expert? Are you a tester scientist? All that kind of stuff? I just love them.

My background. A enthusiast. A radar detector enthusiast.

I love testing them, learning all about them, all the little nuances and details, figuring out how they work, what has the best performance, and just learning everything I possibly can about them.

That's fun. They are just turning around and sharing everything.

What starts someone down a road of radar detector enthusiast? It's fun. I don't know. I love knowing what's going on around me.

Okay. That's fun. A love of spatial awareness. Yeah, exactly. Which is fun. My background is engineering. So like RF, radio, all that kind of stuff.

Makes sense to me. Radar is just kind of a way to make that kind of tangible and useful in a way and like really. And money saving.

Exactly. Which is great. It's great. I'd rather put the money under detectors and then into the tickets. Yeah.

Yeah. So all right. So you just, was it like, you know, you see the cannonball run and hear the word fuzz buster? I need to know about this.

It actually wasn't. I got into that afterwards. For me, it was just I want to feel comfortable when I'm driving. I love driving. I love road trips and not having to worry about tickets or what's going on.

And so just to know what's going on around me is really enjoyable. And then I just got more peace of mind with the detectors or laser jammers or whatever.

Yeah. As a road trip enthusiast and veteran myself, there are how many times? I mean, the number of times I've been saved by for me, I'll, I'll, no money exchange.
