Hello, Barber here. I can tell you without a doubt. That if you pee on an electric fence, it will shock you. Because I did it. And I got shot. And it felt really weird painful. But weird.

Yeah, I used to install new air conditioners in new houses years ago. During 1 job during an install, there was a lightning storm outside lightning hit the ground. Traveled through the ground through the copper pipes, into the new construction house. And to the unit I was working on and all of my tools that were laying on that unit. While I'm working started having Sparks shoot off of them to the cabinet of the unit. Luckily, there wasn't any other wiring or anything inside the house yet but there was some scary stuff.

Hey news. Junkies uh, no 1 like me here. Uh, just about 10 years ago. I was at work. Um I work in live in Florida and uh in the parking lot of our office building, huge lightning strike, hit, uh it was less than like 500 feet away from our office building and it completely uh, Zapped. All the phones systems, and all the computers in the building. So we were uh dead in the water that day. No work to be done in the rest of the day. Uh, but luckily, nobody got hurt, so great outcome, but yeah, Lightning Man, nothing to mess with. You got to fear it and respect it.

So in my profession, I've seen lightning do some really crazy things but I've seen a lot of damage from lightning uh 1 particular. 1 cedar tree was hit by lightning and it went to the bottom of that tree blew out. All the lines uh, from the from the irrigation system. And when I say, it blew out the lines, I mean it actually exploded the water pipes uh then went 300 ft away from there and took the timer off of the wall. Um I've seen lightning actually take chunks of concrete out of the wall before. Um, I've seen a septic tank, that was actually exploded the same way that the water pipes were. So yeah, lightning does crazy things.

I don't know if this, I'm still on the app, I'm still on the old Agent app. Man you were talking about lighting about 15 years ago. I was playing Xbox in a lightning storm because I'm stupid with a wired controller. Not wireless. and, At the same time, the power went out at my house. I received A painful electric shock made me throw the controller. Now, I'm a 20 year electrician. I was only about a 5 year electrician at that time but I know what an electric shock felt like and that was it. I don't think I got hit with a lightning bolt. I think my house got struck by lightning. And uh I just got some of the residual effects of it. But yeah, it hurt.

Hey, junkies. So when I was a little kid, um I lived in the midwest, I lived up in the middle of central Illinois. And we had a huge storm, a big lightning storm and everything like that. And my mom was never a big, you know, like, oh, be Beware of the lightning, would you know? We never really took precautions or anything like that inside the house. It wasn't a big deal. We didn't unplug things or anything like that, but our house did get struck by lightning and my sister and I were sitting in the living room watching TV and uh, the lightning came and blew out the front of the TV. So that actually did happen, can happen. Um, and my mom was downstairs, uh, taking a shower and she got zapped in the shower. Um, so it can happen. I don't know how often or, you know, if that was just an anomaly, but I do remember that happening when I was a child

What up News, Junkie dingo here, I just want to chime in real quick about the thunderstorm in my house. It was whatever you do. Don't talk on the landline during a thunderstorm because the lightning will come through that phone and shock you in the ear. I never believed it, but then I was watching, I think it was season 1, a stranger things, and it totally happened. And My parents were right all this time, huh? Go figure.

What's up news? Junkies happening today? Sean. I think when it comes to your audience and I'm not and I'm in your audience, obviously, but I think that me and you personally are more terminally online than most of your audience and most people don't see these ads, or even some of these, like, Instagram videos of these wet, like there's Instagram videos of women that most people like, oh my God, she's hot and then it transitions to another thing. And most of them are like, oh man, she's hot in this outfit and most people don't know that it's an AI filter of a gentleman in India or China or wherever it might be, um, using a, um, Virtual headset that uh lets them make the movements and everything else. So I I think I think you're talking to an audience that kind of doesn't have an idea of reality at this point, they'll get there.

So, over the last, like 5 years or so, I've bought 4 different vehicles that have like zero computerization or connectivity, uh, to anything and just to kind of hedge my bets against, you know, all this nonsense about I'm monitoring and all that sort of thing, I currently and, and because these cars that I have are either sports cars or old cars Classics that sort of thing, they're not great to travel with. So I do have a brand new Kia Telluride that I use to travel and the I'm monitoring system. When you have the cruise control on is so annoying. And the guy with the Hyundai is right and I currently have somebody working on getting me the software to disable it. So yeah, it's um yeah, it's hugely annoying. and, You know, all I want to do is just get in my car, put a 5 lb wrist, weight on the um steering wheel and let it drive itself because it does it. So, I don't necessarily want to sleep but occasional text, every once in a while, while it's driving itself, would be nice.
