03:49I got a couple of videos to send to a couple of people who are planning their announcements out.
03:53This is a huge milestone for us at LA 28, for Team USA, and for Honda. You know, for Honda to come on
04:02as a founding partner for us really helps the mobility, our mobility planning, our transportation
04:08planning, and really is an exciting opportunity for all of us.
04:12Right, and you agree. Well, the way they, like, turn out all the employees.
04:16Yes.
04:17Those are Japanese.
04:17Like, you know, the couple of them.
04:18For sure.
04:19Yeah, and then with the confetti and everything.
04:21People still need to move around, and our games plan and working with the city of LA,
