Transcript

But thanks to our good friends at Mercedes-Benz this year, they are supporting our work. And we were able to get on the ground insight, like the fact that it's fiery. You would not have seen that anywhere else if I had not been able to get over here. But we will have lots of coverage both on this podcast, our newsletter, our Mercedes hub. Thanks to them for supporting Friday's work. You know, from compact to powerhouse, Mercedes-Benz offers a variety of SUVs, each with flowing lines, precise edges, expertly balancing elegance and aerodynamics. You can further customize that driving experience, whether it's through the vast array of interior and exterior options or the hundreds of in-vehicle settings that can be personalized to best fit your needs. Anecdotally, We had to tinker with some of those settings on the way up. We drove from London Heathrow to the Southport area. And there was like lane assist was helping and the attention assist and they had speed limit assist. You know, we'd be getting the Danes. So like all sorts of options that you can tinker, turn off, turn on. You know, Kevin was off of Red Eye and driving. You want to make sure his attention is at a high level and the lane is being, the lane integrity, like gap integrity is being maintained. So that was a setting, a custom setting that was helpful on the ride up. Then we also had the Burmester 3D surround system, which we had immersive acoustic experience listening to you guys Monday podcast that I was unable to make or just chose not to make. I probably could have done it if I'm being honest, but I was off a red eye. So they've got that going. You can find out more at MBUSA.com. Mercedes-Benz is proud to be an official patron of the Open Championship and certainly a very cherished and helpful support of our work.
