susan li says that's not going to happen, the fact, first of all john foley has so much control overcontrol everything they buy and this doesn't fit that description. >> yeah, i think you're absolutely right and you have to look at peloton as not sort of a growth business but it is a stand-alone product. we say community and so much more but at the end of the day it's a fitness product and how many fitness products do we know going back to the day of thigh masters, ab blasters, what not, have we seen come and go? this is a big bet for a big road avenue for a tech company and whether they can add in other services to actually make it grow or if this just happens to be the latest health and fitness trend that is now going by the wayside, waiting for the next one to come along? david: by the way the other thing susan says augering against a by apple they can make their own bike. they make their watches. they like to make things. they could make a bike as well. we want to switch to another topic. frontier and spirit are merging that would create the fifth largest airline in the country.
