  My son, while he's been down in Dallas, has picked up himself a
• 0:03
  girlfriend. And they, his girlfriend and her
• 0:07
  family are from Houston. And so they are true Texans.
• 0:11
  They're they're, they're Texas through and through.
• 0:13
  Are we talking about weather? We are talking about weather.
• 0:16
  This is, this is all connected. This is all connected.
• 0:19
  I can just tell you Houston is like hot and really sweaty, like
• 0:24
  New Orleans sort of humidity is dripping.
• 0:27
  So they've they've become rather serious in this, in this, you
• 0:34
  know, freshman year of his. So we are now like talking to
• 0:38
  their parents and do that stuff. So my wife and I did a zoom with
• 0:41
  them. Oh God, it was it was Sunday.
• 0:44
  I think it was just talking to. Her right on Mother's Day.
• 0:46
  Nice. Yeah, right.
• 0:46
  On Mother's Day, actually. Yeah, we didn't.
• 0:48
  Even when we scheduled it, we didn't even realize that it was
• 0:50
  just like Sunday. Sure.
• 0:51
  Yeah. OK.
• 0:52
  So anyway, we do it. And my wife and I, I think we
• 0:55
  had been out because we were at the rainy, cold baseball field
• 1:00
  with Owen for most of the day and my daughter playing a
• 1:03
  softball prior. We were outside all day in the
• 1:05
  not great weather, in the cold. So when we were at like 7:00
• 1:11
  zooming them, you know, I'm wearing like a sweater.
• 1:14
  I'm wearing, you know, she's wearing like a hoodie, you know,
• 1:16
  look, just looks like, you know, Mainers in May, right?
• 1:21
  They pick it up. They're in the pool.
• 1:22
  Yeah. They're in the you don't mind if
• 1:25
  we stay in the pool. And I'm like, you know, stay
• 1:26
  right in the pool. It's like 92 here.
• 1:28
  I'm like, and they're like, oh, you guys are in sweaters.
• 1:32
  I'm like, yeah, no, it's different here.
• 1:34
  It's different here. It's it's much different here.
• 1:37
  And I think that this is one more reason why I have now lost
• 1:39
  my son forever, because I'm trying to.
• 1:40
  We're going to probably be spending the next couple years
• 1:44
  here trying to convince Texans that the Northeast is wonderful.
• 1:49
  Come, come live up here. Come, come live up here.
• 1:52
  You guys end up getting married and having kids or something
• 1:54
  like that. You should probably live in New
• 1:56
  York or Boston or, or, or over here, Right.
• 1:59
  But I'm going to have to get texting people, particularly his
• 2:02
  girlfriend, to be like, oh, yes, I enjoy 45° weather in May.
• 2:07
  Yeah, sounds great. Let's do it well.
• 2:12
  Well, before you get to that, and parents, first of all,
• 2:14
  impression, love the parents, love everyone.
• 2:18
  Have they ever been outside of that area in the Northeast at
• 2:21
  all? Have they been, you know what
• 2:23
  island? Funny.
• 2:24
  Enough. I didn't ask them.
• 2:25
  I asked his, I asked his girlfriend if she hadn't.
• 2:27
  She really hasn't travelled much outside of the South.
• 2:29
  So no, I was born in New England or no, I was born in California,
• 2:32
  but we grew up here. So I'm, I'm a New England guy.
• 2:35
  So when I moved to the DC area, you know, that's not quite the
• 2:38
  South, obviously, but the DC area is high swamp.
• 2:41
  It's disgusting, hot and muggy and gross and it can get, I
• 2:45
  mean, there was, I have pictures of my temperature gauge on my on
• 2:47
  my car, like at 113° like it's it, it can get oppressive and
• 2:53
  I'm not made for it. I'm just not made for.
• 2:54
  It it's pretty humid there too. I mean, I kind of got used to
• 2:57
  it, but I never never really acclimated to the weather down
• 3:01
  there. I like this.
• 3:02
  This is what I mean. I don't like being freezing cold
• 3:04
  or something like that. But you know, that's certainly
• 3:06
  the the three months of the summer make it all worth it.
• 3:09
  Then on the bookends, I love the fall and I really do like the
• 3:12
  spring. You know, winter I do like
• 3:15
  because I do winter sports, I ski, I do things like that.
• 3:18
  That's fun. So I enjoy being up here and I
• 3:20
  don't want a climate that is oppressively gross.
• 3:24
  And I think that a lot of that has to do with the fact that I
• 3:27
  was, you know, raised here. This is where I live for all of
• 3:31
  my life. So it's what I'm used to and
• 3:33
  it's what I like. I'm just assuming that the
• 3:35
  reverse is true, that if you're born in a swamp, if you are, if
• 3:38
  you're in the, if you're hanging out with alligators and you
• 3:41
  know, whatever you didn't. Do you want that?
• 3:43
  Yeah. Does your blood run really hot?
• 3:45
  And then if you go up to a climate like this, even though
• 3:48
  you and me are quite comfortable here, Right, Right.
• 3:50
  You know, are they like, oh, this is horrible.
• 3:53
  I'm not sure about the horrible, I'm not sure if everybody wants
• 3:55
  the alligator part or the the element there, but you might be
• 3:59
  right. Well.
• 3:59
  There's something wherever you live, man, there's something.
• 4:02
  Well, maybe it's not alligators, but.
• 4:04
  Well, bring up I. Got bears, dude, we got bears.
• 4:07
  I may have lost him forever now at this point, that's all she
• 4:10
  wrote. Let's see what a job
• 4:11
  opportunities. Weather.
• 4:12
  Girl, girl. Yeah, sure.
• 4:13
  Yeah, I'll stay here. Yeah, that's exactly what's
• 4:16
  going to happen.
