Well, it says that I'm live. I'll believe it when I see it. Good afternoon. I'm Tim Carter. This is Ask the Builder and streaming live here on March 21st, 2022. There is so much to talk about today. I am going to talk about new home construction in just a little bit. So you want to, you know, stay tuned for that. But I've got an opening monologue that I have to get off my chest

So we're going to be doing the new home construction just a little bit. Here's some of the things we're going to talk about today

We're going to talk about the texting I did with my daughter in the last hour

about how some have this Long Beach, California, Honda dealership is trying to take her to the cleaners

What snakes. Oh, my gosh. I wish all kinds of bad Jujimogumbo on that company and all the people that work for them

Luckily, she's not, she did the right thing and walked away. I'll describe it all in detail in a minute

Fixed my truck breaks this weekend We can talk about that Golf League Got got the golf league email overnight So I playing golf every week this year First time I ever done it in my life We going to talk

about how I use the internet, how I got some phone calls and emails from some moms who said I

use the internet over the weekend to hurt their son's feelings. And we're going to talk about a builder that we're, I hope Steve joins in

I hope Steve joins in because Steve from London has said here on the stream a couple

of times that he just loves it when he reads these back and forth comments I have

with builders who come to my videos who, you know, who thumped their chest about how their way is better

I took this one guy to the, to the woodshed today. I got him so riled out

I do it on, it's like a scheme for me. It's like I, it's like I'm poking a bear with a sharp stick through the

the bars of a cage. It sadistic I sorry Then we going to talk about I going to get a new computer and a new monitor

And I've figured out how I'm going to, what I'm going to do with my new live streaming set

There's so much to talk about. So, hi, Steve. How are you doing

Oh, and also a new rule that we tried to do last week

It's called the polite rule. Okay. So the polite rule. The polite thing to do when you're watching really any stream

all the influencers and creators really appreciate this. If you would just check in, just go into the chat, just type hello

Yes, I'm going to see your flipping YouTube name. I get it, but I'm not a stalker

I'm not coming to your channel at 3 in the morning looking through the shades

All right? I'm not going to be doing that. So the polite thing to do is to check in

So check in. say hello, simple as that. Nothing wrong with that

So Josh, Steve, great to see you here. Okay, I'm going to first rail on the salesman

and then we're going to do the new house construction. I mean, the old house construction stuff

It a lot of fun because I had a lot of fun this weekend My daughter my youngest daughter moved to Long Beach California about two weeks ago And she has to buy a car her first car I sent her some videos to watch

about how car salesmen are most of them, not necessarily all, but many of them are just flipping snakes

They're just, it's horrible. It's horrible. So she wants to buy a new Honda

The price, get this, the price of the car on the sticker is $24,025. All right

They handle a piece of paper to sign $37,500. You know, now, the sales tax in California, I mean, it's obscene

Must be, I haven't done the math, must be 9%. because the sales tax was 3,000 something

Then there's license and fees of 475 and then a document fee of 85

Okay, those are probably legit. Well, the sales tax is. Can't get around that

But then they want it. And I have pre-warned her about all this

Just, you know, I told her they're going to try
