Transcript of the segment

What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: TheBlaze.

1. Hank LedgerGM wanted to move past Apple CarPlay. Drivers did not.

2. Hank LedgerThe piece is from TheBlaze, and its point is simple: if you don't buy it, they can't sell it.

3. Vera BullockI'm sorry, but CarPlay is plumbing. You connect your phone and your stuff appears. Nobody asked GM to fix the pipes!

4. Chip DarnellI love this! The people have spoken, and they spoke from a gas station parking lot, which is the town square of America!

5. Hank LedgerPlumbing.

6. Vera BullockYes! Imagine a plumber ripping out your toilet because he has a better feeling about water.

7. Chip DarnellAnd the new toilet has an app! And a subscription!

8. Hank LedgerThe engineers decided they'd come up with something better. Engineers always decide that.

9. Vera BullockNext it's a steering wheel with a mission statement. Turn left to align with our values.

10. Chip DarnellI'd honestly drive that, Vera. I'd drive it to a drive-through.

11. Vera BullockWell, that tracks for you.

12. Hank LedgerDrivers had the power the whole time. They just kept parking.

13. Vera BullockHank, what's on your car's screen right now?

14. Hank LedgerA rental. I've never touched the radio. It's been on a polka station since Tuesday.
