Now hello welcome to Carcast Plus Edmonds, a podcast of Edmonds podcast, I'm Matt the

moderator deandre here with Alice for Weaver editor chief Edmonds.com I think people are going to start

figuring that out eventually but it's a it's a it's a it's a it's a long title in fact that's not my

full title but it's it makes for a lengthy business card how are you Matt? I'm good how are you?

I'm all right thank you not too bad short a week this week heading for a little family vacation.

Yeah that's right Labor Day is coming up it's you know oftentimes I just forget I forget about

the holidays because just so much of what I do is kind of work from home in freelance and you know

running a you know doing podcasts and a beverage company that I kind of I kind of forget holidays

exist. Just means you need to crumb five days working to full. It's kind of what it means yeah

or it means I'm gonna leave town and then work on the road or do something on the road but

but for you that usually means what it means you pack up the family and you try to convince them

they're going on vacation but really you're just testing another vehicle. Something like that but

it is it's really like in my job I have a very privileged position that I can call upon like a

fleet of vehicles that Edmonds owns or Edmonds runs but also test cars that we have in and we get

through about 300 a year or so but it's like it's so it's kind of the kids get used to all what

car we're going in data and well you know and they love trucks they absolutely there's something

about you know despite being a Brit with a French wife. I was gonna say your babies are American

your kids are American they want trucks. I brought a Raptor our home the other week and like the

excitement on my four year old face was was was just amazing so I don't know there must be

something in like human psychology that just a really loud VA and a massive truck does does

important things to you. I listen to the feeling that we get a four year old with that truck is

the same we get at 44 year old with that with that truck so yeah I get it it doesn't go away it
