5:02

I'm sorry. So you have how many of you have gotten?

5:04

None. But you.

5:05

The bonus isn't all there is. No, it is not in all.

5:08

In the situation at least. Should we be changing the rules?

5:13

Bonus. Bonus round.

5:14

We always go all in. Is aviation okay?

5:16

I always go all in. Brazil is investing in Micawber okay?

5:22

Hoping it will become a source of sustainable aviation fuel.

5:26

What is Michael Barr? And you smell?

5:30

I hope I said that correctly. Muscat Luba and Adrian.

5:34

Those vowels are dancing with one another.

5:36

The A and the Brazilian. Yes.

5:39

Yes. Uh, the Brazilian, I don't know, uh,

Brazil is investing $3 billion. That's my palm.

6:04

Yeah, that's why I couldn't remember. But you had the palm oil.

6:08

But it doesn't look like a fruit. I saw this article.

6:11

I thought it was a nut. Eventually.

6:13

Yeah. And they're trying to modify it to

6:14

become, like larger oil. Safer to handle because it has thorns on

6:18

it and it's not going to handle hard to harvest.

6:20

So yes. So that means Christina is our champion.
