And featuring Tommy Marquez. Tommy, what's up? Well, it's 78 degrees and sunny, so. Is it 78 there?

Yep. Dude, I was like 71 on campus yesterday in San Jose. And I was like, why am, I should be in shorts.

0:42.0

I've been wearing shorts more. Like, it's ridiculous. Yeah. Like, this is why, this is why our cost of living is through the roof, but whatever.

0:50.0

I know this is why it's like five times what it costs to live where you are versus me.
