All right.

Welcome back. This is struck episode 10 Allen, how are you doing?

Hey, Dan. Good. How are, how's Washington DC doing? Uh,

we're, we're hanging in there starting to get nice 80 82 degrees, I think today. Partly sunny, 85 yesterday. Hm. Interesting. Interesting. Just a sudden jump into summer weather, so it was nice.

Yeah. Well that's cool. Yeah.

So baseball,

no, nothing. There's no nothing, but the national mall is very green. When I go down there today. Mmm. I guess the center cut portion of the, of, of the mall, which I, that's such a weird saying. Mall always sounds strange to me because you just, who doesn't associate the word mall with a little like a shopping mall?

Like going in and out of forever 21, they're like, you don't know? No, that's where I shop. But you know, my little sister, um, it's a park.

It's a park.

Yeah. Like the term is, it's strange. It's just like. Anyway, I digress. But nah, the grass, just like all the wildlife, like are people that talk about wildlife coming back with the crowbar by herself.

The grass has just superb, super green dense. Cause people aren't on it. They kind of like kept us off and there's not that many people in general. So yeah. Um, the parks here in DC or live and well, so, so yeah.

Well, did you see that video yesterday? I think it was yesterday. Uh, I'm just thinking, cause no one's out on the streets right now.

You see that tiger walking down the street of that town of Mexico and the guy's trying to last through the tiger down the street. Do you see that?

That seems like a fool's errand to trying to catch a tiger. That's a good way to get eaten by that tiger. You just gotta let that tiger go to an extent. You got a tranquilizer, dart it and call it.

Call it a day.

They last through this tiger and the street. Unbelievable. Like what's their tiger in the street? Is that somebody's pet that just got out? It's kind of like Florida with the pythons, right? Like people let off their pythons and then they try to go out in the wild and they're 50 feet long and they're,

yeah, I remember seeing this video and it was somewhere in like me, like India or you know, where like Jaguars and like cheetahs are like, and again, I don't know if this exactly works.

I don't know if cheetahs are in India, but. There was like one of these big cats, so it wasn't a tiger, obviously it was like a Jaguar cheetah, like one is a medium size, big cats, but it was like in this little town and it was just like running around like tackles a dude. Then everyone's like chasing it, chasing it around, and it was kind of terrifying how fast the scared.

You know,
