applying makeup or interacting with a passenger in the backseat has little impact on accidents, but driving while angry, sad, emotional actually created almost ten times the risk of a crash. speeding

to disrupt the challenge. level the playing field. with savings. now, i want to mention im companies that have taken everything we know and flipped it. while grocery prices are goingup, there are two on the front that are in some ways lowering prices. they have actually lowered prices across the board in many ways and then more considerably, that challenger to blue apron, they have family meals lower than anyone they were offering last year. thats a very interesting thing to see. on the smart phone front, t mobile has not only revamped it, theyre giving them a run for their money. tmobile was the first to eradicate contracts. they do not have roaming fees. theyre channeling other companies to offer Better Customer Service and eliminate overages. theyre offering more than just a year ago. and, dish, well, cable and direct tv not answering to any promotions of this nature. they will give you three years, all in, with a oneyear netflix included at 49. 99. this is disrupting the industry because its always been you get locked in at a rate and a year later they jack it up 70 . this is a 49dollars promise for three years, which is the first of its kind. how about that . with tmobile, you always hear they dont have as much coverage as at t and verizon. so are they just trying to make up for the difference . theyre improving quickly. if youre on a suburban area, on a farm, theyre not for you, but if people in cities, theyre a good grab. thank you. all right. one of the nfls controversial players could be looking for a reports out of dallas say the cowboys are about to
