  Not Monday, but Tuesday. That's right, friends, we're
• 0:10
  already into the week. Because yesterday was Memorial
• 0:14
  Day, of course. We hope you remember the reason
• 0:17
  that we celebrated that day amidst your barbecues and time
• 0:20
  off and all that delicious awesomeness that I think you
• 0:24
  might have enjoyed yesterday. Very weird day, too.
• 0:26
  Yesterday, by the way, starts off absolutely pouring.
• 0:29
  I mean absolutely pouring. Would not.
• 0:32
  Stopping anything wouldn't stop, can't stop, won't stop.
• 0:36
  And then it stopped. And then immediately it became a
• 0:38
  pretty nice day. By the end of the day, my family
• 0:41
  and I were outside. The ran a little, ran a little
• 0:44
  fire that we made outside, which is kind of fun.
• 0:47
  And the grass was like kind of dry, you know, I mean, there's a
• 0:51
  couple spots that were a little bit soggy still, I suppose.
• 0:54
  But overall, all that morning stuff had kind of gone away by
• 0:58
  the time you got to the end of the day.
• 1:00
  So it was a weird day. It's a weird day, but a good
• 1:02
  day. Do you know what's already out?
• 1:04
  That I hate mosquitoes. You're getting inundated already
• 1:09
  inundated. Hasn't even started so there's a
• 1:12
  flower pot that I had to empty out.
• 1:13
  That full of water is yourself. One of them Zappers, man.
• 1:17
  Is it the one? Yeah, there's one that's like a
• 1:21
  a tennis racket that's a ZAP. No, no, I'm talking about 1.
• 1:24
  You hang, dude. Those ones, yeah.
• 1:26
  Yeah, you got to get one of the ones when you hang, when you
• 1:28
  hang. So what is about your
• 1:29
  neighborhood where you have mosquitoes?
• 1:31
  There. Well, it happens to be in Maine.
• 1:35
  That's OK, yeah. I I, I, I OK other parts of the
• 1:39
  country, mosquitoes are much more prevalent than I've noticed
• 1:42
  here in my more than a year and a half.
• 1:44
  Yeah, but you? Live in the city, right?
• 1:45
  I mean, where? Where?
• 1:46
  Where are you? Downtown, yeah.
• 1:48
  Yeah, that's why, I mean, anybody who isn't, I mean,
• 1:50
  that's the only place I can think of that doesn't really
• 1:53
  have a big mosquito problem. And that's only because you
• 1:56
  don't have anything that's like wetland or, you know, you don't
• 1:58
  have anything around you that would breed them because you're
• 2:02
  in a concrete jungle of a city. But you live literally anywhere
• 2:07
  else. Literally anywhere else.
• 2:10
  And they're out there, baby. Oh, they're out there of.
• 2:13
  Course. Josane Westbrook.
• 2:15
  Yeah. Oh yeah.
• 2:16
  Yeah, if you live on anything that has grass and trees and
• 2:22
  maybe a pond somewhere or they're everywhere.
• 2:25
  They are absolutely everywhere. Of course I live in my house.
• 2:28
  I have absolutely zero problem using poison to destroy them and
• 2:34
  keep them away from me. So we spray our house.
• 2:36
  So I don't really have a mosquito problem.
• 2:37
  And it works. I mean, it's a quite effective
• 2:40
  little tool there to keep them away from me, which is good
• 2:42
  because I actually do have a fair amount of like sort of
• 2:44
  soggy land. And I have a little pond.
• 2:47
  I have a little pond in front of my house.
• 2:48
  So that pond could theoretically and maybe has in the past been a
• 2:53
  breeding ground for just horrendous attacks.
• 2:57
  When I lived, when I was growing up, we lived on 26 acres in
• 3:02
  Hamden, had a big pond and it was a true pond pond.
• 3:06
  You know, it was, had been like, you know, scummy pond water and
• 3:11
  all the, you know, it was a pond.
• 3:12
  And of course, lots of, you know, woods.
• 3:15
  There was a little there. The Saud Apskuk River went back
• 3:18
  and threw our backyard. Basically it was it was nature
• 3:21
  at its finest. And there is nowhere short of
• 3:26
  malaria infested Africa that has mosquitoes that are higher of a
• 3:29
  higher count than at that house. Man, I used to have to sleep in
• 3:35
  a a bed with a net. Like I was living in some in
• 3:38
  some sub-saharan sub-Saharan Africa in the jungle somewhere
• 3:42
  legitimately draped, you know, like you'd have a canopy or
• 3:44
  whatever. You would drape the net down to
• 3:47
  keep them away from you so you wouldn't get eaten alive in the
• 3:51
  middle of the night while you're sleeping.
• 3:53
  This is inside. Yeah, this is my bedroom.
• 3:57
  And not once did I ever see a tick.
• 4:00
  Never living in that particular house.
• 4:02
  Not once ever. And I was in the woods a lot all
• 4:05
  the time. No ticks 0 here in my house now
• 4:11
  like we've seen like 4 of them already.
• 4:13
  They're all over the place. Stupid ticks.
• 4:15
  My wife noticed something by the way yesterday while we were
• 4:17
  outside doing stuff. I've had this little sensor
• 4:23
  light on my truck going off says that I don't know it was I
• 4:28
  thought it said the backup camera or or one of the sensors
• 4:31
  maybe the the crash sensor or whatever was not functioning
• 4:34
  correctly. So I just sort of, you know,
• 4:38
  pegged it to a little minor malfunction.
• 4:40
  I was going to go visit the dealer or whatever, but she then
• 4:42
  looked at my bumper, looked at my back bumper, said I think I
• 4:46
  know what's wrong with your truck.
• 4:48
  I said, what, what's what's wrong with the truck?
• 4:49
  And then she shows me my, my back bumper and it is Askew.
• 4:54
  It is Askew. There's no like impact damage.
• 4:57
  There's no scratch. There's no, it doesn't look like
• 5:00
  it was hit. There's nothing at all that
• 5:02
  looks like a problem. And yet there's a little
• 5:04
  separation from the middle part of the bumper to the right side
• 5:08
  of the bumper, which is connected with some sort of a
• 5:10
  plastic fastener or whatever. And it's a skew and I'm ready to
• 5:15
  jump off a Cliff. I I mean I just bought.
• 5:18
  This thing and you paid also. Yeah, but I don't, I don't think
• 5:21
  it's the truck's fault. I think something, I don't know,
• 5:24
  if somebody hit it and it just didn't leave a mark, maybe I
• 5:27
  don't know. And that sensor started going
• 5:29
  off. I looked at the places I thought
• 5:31
  it would be because it said, it said the blind spot monitor,
• 5:34
  which you know, is in the little side mirrors, there's a little
• 5:37
  camera there. And I looked and it's not dirty,
• 5:39
  you know, I kind of buffed it off just to be safe, but it
• 5:41
  looked fine. And there was another couple
• 5:43
  places where it could have been. But I looked around the truck, I
• 5:45
  didn't see anything. And part of the reason I didn't
• 5:48
  see anything is because there is no kind of damage around
• 5:50
  anything. And I just didn't look close
• 5:52
  enough to notice. The bumper was a bit separated,
• 5:56
  little bit separated. And I'm like, why did that
• 5:58
  happen? I mean, I literally will park it
• 6:01
  in places and park it away from everyone else 'cause I'm like,
• 6:05
  stay away from my truck, man, Don't.
• 6:07
  I don't. Have my truck, Yeah.
• 6:08
  Anybody would, yeah. Give them what you might pay.
• 6:11
  And then it's brand new. Yeah, of course.
• 6:12
  Yeah. And if they hit it, how did it
• 6:13
  not scratch or otherwise make a mark?
• 6:17
  That's the real question. I know I didn't hit anything.
• 6:21
  I know I didn't know anything. That's for.
• 6:22
  Sure, or at least you're not admitting into us right now.
• 6:25
  Certainly would not certainly would not.
• 6:26
  I'd admit it if I hit something, but I don't even know how you
• 6:29
  can hit anything with these trucks anymore.
• 6:31
  You know, these things have, you know, obviously backup cameras,
• 6:34
  the screen on my on the truck, like in the inside of it.
• 6:38
  I just picked up my son on Sunday from, you know, he flew
• 6:40
  in from from Dallas OR actually from Houston.
• 6:43
  And he's like, Oh my God, you have like a laptop in here and
• 6:46
  I'm like, yeah, kinda. It's like a 21 inch screen.
• 6:49
  It's huge. So the backup camera, big
• 6:51
  screen, you don't miss that. And then on that screen does.
• 6:54
  That break on the next right there, Yeah, right in the right
• 6:57
  in front of you. Streaming wheel right up there,
• 6:58
  correct? OK, but even in it also have you
• 7:01
  ever seen the backup cameras that have the the the angle from
• 7:04
  above your your car? Yeah.
• 7:07
  So if you're inserting back to you.
• 7:09
  So I don't. I still don't even really know
• 7:11
  how they do it. I guess they just send it.
• 7:13
  Back at the cab. No, it's not from the.
• 7:15
  I mean, it's like literally it will show you above your car
• 7:18
  down so that you can see around as you're parking in a space a
• 7:22
  little bit. From where?
• 7:25
  Exactly. And I think the actual answer is
• 7:27
  they have a bunch of cameras that are like fisheye lenses and
• 7:29
  they like rewarp it and assemble it so that it looks like it's
• 7:33
  from yeah, it's showing you everything, but it's, it's
• 7:36
  showing you everything in a manipulated image to just to
• 7:41
  make it look like it's above the truck even though it's not.
• 7:43
  Sounds like early AI.
