SPEAKER_02 1:49

So it is going good. People are loving the opportunity, but they don't actually have to get out. If they're in their way to work and they're in a hurry, they can just uh just stop right in the middle of the highway and I'll run right out to them. No, no, uh, no harm, no foul.

SPEAKER_01 2:00

Any strange objects thrown at you?

SPEAKER_02 2:03
