[instrumental music] Support for this show comes from the twenty twenty-seven Chevy Bolt. Oh, I love the Chevy Bolt. I have mine. How long is twenty-five minutes? It's a quick workout or a stop to the grocery store. It's also the amount of time it takes you to charge your Chevy Bolt. As I said, I drive the Chevy Bolt myself, an older version, and now the Bolt is back and better than ever. I may have to trade it in. You can charge from ten percent to eighty percent in just twenty-five minutes with public DC fast charging. That's about half the length of this very podcast. Explore Chevy's most affordable EV at chevy.com/bolt. Actual charge times will vary. See owner's manual for details and limitations. Let me say again, I love my car. Never had a problem with it. Best car I've ever owned. Buy the Chevy Bolt. [instrumental music] Support for this show comes from AMC. Awards buzz calls The Audacity a sharply engaging and zany comedic drama.

Executive produced by Jonathan Glatzer, a writer, producer of Succession and Better Call Saul. Billy Magnussen, Sarah Goldberg, and Zach Galifianakis star in this absurd look at twenty-first century techno royalty. Watch The Audacity Sundays only on AMC+ and AMC Plus.
