  Speaker 4: something around there. But during the summer months, sometimes it
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: goes as high as like $ 200.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Where are you from?
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry. I was born in Maryland, but I grew
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: up in Fort Lauderdale. So I got a whole mixture
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: of something.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you sound a little bit Boston. That's what I
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: was asking.
