You are. Just you had you pointed out you approve it anyhow but even a few and Matthew Wang. And you know subpoenaed records from the phone carriers that would be ludicrous I county prosecutors actually doing that. Well we and help crossing drug dealer cases in a domestic violence cases. At an extraordinary array I just don't think it's gonna happen. But would you of those people if you saw like the person -- taxing to call nine while whining get its open broiled and act kind of a court controversy. Don't know you know what I think you should be like drinking and I. You know if you caught the problem had a bit and he caught it and of course it would -- record I think people should think I would never checked and dry. I get I get that stupid slot guys are out that it. -- It's not provable of my -- looking at a record like that and and any -- and Rachel my jacket. Me how I feel like minder. Business -- right.

In my own his voice detects that you speak into it and convert it detects. I need to get a new phone I think the Blackberry is dying at -- 6172666868. He really do -- attacks now. And I so old school with this crackberry that I don't even have the latest technology -- -- it myself a lot of aggravation and make it safer for everyone to be out there on the road. And about the sticker I can't tell this quick story Chris you get a lot that's. So I'm driving I had to stop by the Trader Joe's and Brookline and of course there is. Plethora of Elizabeth learned bumper stickers all over the parking lots. So Elizabeth Warren one particular car and I swear to you as a Toyota Prius. Plastered with Elizabeth warm bumper stickers I kid you -- I watched as a guy drove by this Toyota Prius. That was come -- Levy festooned with warrant bumper stickers and he put his hand over his mouth and -- -- it didn't. I can women used like obligated and advocate. Andy he would do of the markers of the road. That's that that be news to me. And us seed have you ever reacted and that's it away what is somebody's bumper sticker because. I.

I'm behind the tags -- -- -- of the phone technology I'm behind the times because you know why it's so much easier to text while driving on the Blackberry. It is not any other call. So do you still text -- remind people what happened to the other guy in Alabama the college student from Texas. His last words his last typed out. Letters spelled. I need to quit texting because I could die in a car acts that he took the time -- it all right. Don't do it. Don't don't do it your life is not worth losing your life with my grandmother's funeral. Not long now. And I kept saying and it can have -- catch on in my head I'm surprises me up in the casket. Because it's kid now what's shocking to me the actually tech's stated the whole words like I was attacks I need to quit texting. Because -- -- -- in a car crash. I would not accident he rode out the word accident he wrote out the word because it would wouldn't you put PC. I could die I can crash he broke the -- now and then flew. His track right off a cliff. Broke his neck -- space fractured skull traumatic brain injuries doctors had to bring him back to -- three tides. And now he is becoming the latest guy to advocate against texting while driving well I'll know that is dangerous. Yeah as well -- the best idea in the world to be texting behind the wheel but I really don't think is any way you're gonna stop people from doing you can write them -- beacon right and I didn't hear from the kid who drove his truck ran up a clip.
