Okay. I love to hearing the music.

3:31

Christina says it's like you. Secondhand clothing, vintage clothing,

3:35

but it's not all vintage. It's like sexy fashion stuff.

course of this vintage car. Vintage.

3:52

Yeah. It's Europe's largest online clothing

3:54

resale market. Do you know about this?

3:55

Yeah, and they're really popular because they don't charge a fee to the seller.

3:59

Um, so you can sell your clothes and get more money for them because anybody has

4:02

tried to secondhand resale online, you get hardly anything for it, and you get

4:05

more if you list on vintage. Are you a drifter?

4:07

You do? Yeah, I love it.

4:08

Have you found one in the city? It that you enjoy?

4:11

Okay. You don't have to reveal them on here.

4:13

This was founded in 2008, in Lithuania, and it's processed $12.3 billion worth

4:18

of secondhand clothing just last year. It's a big day.

4:21

Men's clothing and women's, I think so, I don't know, is it?

4:24

I think so. Stay tuned.

4:25

Usually I mean after them. Yeah, usually.

4:27

Usually it's easier. I'll find you boys and blazers.

4:29

Don't worry. All right, third question.

4:30

All right. I bet nothing on this, so I'm just

4:33

trying my math. What are we doing?

4:34

You guys are car chargers. You guys are tied 1 to 1.

4:37

No way. I bet 20 on that first one.

4:39

Look, I get half a point for his because I gave him the answer.

4:41

All right, well, you guys can keep track of the match.

4:43

Yeah. Uh.

4:44

Car chargers. What retailer was second only to Tesla

4:48

in expanding its EV charging network in the second quarter?

4:51

It's also the nation's largest grocer. I do know this one nation's largest

4:57

grocer. Maybe I shouldn't have given that for a

4:59

clue. It's okay.

4:59

I had it all right. I don't know about that.

5:03

Good thing I didn't get any chips on it. I wrote Kroger, Walmart.

5:08

Christine is right. Oh.

5:10

Walmart is citing its investment in EV ports for juice sales inside its stores.

5:14

Since drivers need something to do while their cars are charging.

5:17

Yes. Walmart is creating one of the country's

5:20

largest EV charging networks. Nearly 350 stations spread among its

5:23

4600 stores. It was the largest crowd, so I guess we

5:26

have time for a bonus. We have time.

5:27

I don't need it, but we have time for a bonus.

5:29

We're tired. I'm just going to say you have 2530.

5:33

All right, all right. Okay.

5:34

All right. Ask more radio listeners the category.

5:37

All right. Which country will host Formula One for

5:39

the first time in nine years? After agreeing to take on Bahrain's

5:43

postponed Grand Prix. What's it going to be?

5:46

I don't know. I really don't know.

5:50

It's going to be called the Oscars.

5:54

It's in my head. Okay.

5:56

Right. Saudi Arabia.

5:57

Oh, okay. Neither of you got it, right?

5:59

That's good. It's it's Malaysia.

6:00

Malaysia. We'll be hosting the event.

6:03

It's going to be called Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia.

6:05

It was postponed due to disruption caused by the war in the Middle East.

6:08

Malaysia actually hosted F1 races for 19 seasons, but grew tired of the expensive

6:12

staging fees and falling tickets for expensive Bahrainis.

6:16

There used to be a race in Malaysia. Well, yes, I watched the Netflix show

6:20

back in the day team. So I think very much happy to win three

6:22

weeks in a row. David Gower winning tweeted with some of
