0:00.0	AI is incredible. They can teach you how to fry an egg and even write a poem, pirate style.
0:07.0	But it knows nothing about your work. Slackbot is different. It doesn't just know the facts.
0:14.0	It knows your schedule. It can turn a brainstorm into a brief and it doesn't need to be taught.
0:20.0	Because Slackbot isn't just another AI.
0:23.3	It's AI that knows your work as well as you do. Visit Slack.com forward slash meet Slackbot to learn more.
0:31.0	Welcome back everybody. Happy Tuesday yet again. We are back with yet another podcast of everything.
0:36.6	There's actually a lot of news up front.
0:38.3	Yeah, there is.
0:39.3	Two very similar car debates, frighteningly similar from two different people.
0:43.3	Two different emails wrote in and we went, really?
0:45.3	The similarities are uncirking.
0:47.3	It's shocking.
0:48.3	So there's that good actual topic Tuesday in front of that that gets me down the road into tires, which is just my
0:55.4	favorite little side thing. So we're doing that. We're talking about your questions, lots of
0:58.8	stuff. So let's dive right in. We've got news up front from Ford who has announced the 2026
1:04.5	Dark Horse SC that was announced just yesterday as of this recording. It has the V8 from the Mustang GtD. I'm wondering if Ford
1:14.2	has decided that the GtD is not for everybody and maybe more people want a piece of the GtD.
1:20.7	They have to know that. So they invented a new dark horse version and have tested it apparently
1:26.9	at Sebring and VIRR so that it uses the gtd engine
1:30.9	that 5.2 liter v8 they have not announced horsepower they said it's somewhere between 500 and
1:35.5	815 which means it's somewhere between the standard dark horse that you buy and the gtd that's nice
1:40.2	of course it is so it'll be powerful fast and i'm guessing probably way about the same as the GTD. I hate to say it. It's just a heavy car. I don't know that they've solved the way. It's a 4,000 pound car. But what I do like is the styling is better than the GTD. I think the front clip, the front end on this car looks actually better than the GTD. The GtD is of course be winged. It's its own animal.
