Bruce
Tom’s Answer:
Podcast: Play in new window
Tom: Some of the AC’s today actually have humidistats and thermostats.
Charlie: Cool.
Tom: I don’t know does the Nest doesn’t have the humidistat does it Phil?
Charlie: No it does not.
Tom: Apple? Well it’ll be there.
Charlie: It’s not from Apple.
Tom: It’s not?
Charlie: No it’s the guy who did the design …
Tom: Well now I’m disappointed I thought it was from …
Charlie: No the guy …
Tom: We’re digressing here but I’m still disappointed.
Charlie: Well I know and we’re about to go over time sorry …
Tom: No I’ll finish the question easy.
Charlie: But I what I was going to say is the guy who did the design did the original design on the original iPad.
Tom: Oh is that what it was?
Charlie: That’s the Apple connection there.
Tom: I’m so sorry.
Charlie: Ok.
Tom: I didn’t mean to give credit where credit is not due.
Charlie: That’s ok.
Tom: But your humidity between 50 and 60% see how quick that answer was?
Charlie: Ok 15 to what?
Tom: Fifty to 60% in Houston.
Charlie: Ok I was going to say if you have 15 to 16% …
Tom: Well then you live in like [inaudible 00:00:46] New York and you’re 40 below and your nose is bleeding.
Charlie: Your furniture is cracking.
Tom: Yes.
Charlie: I remember those days.
Tom: I do too.
Charlie: Getting a nose bleed by running too hard in the cold.
Tom: We had humidifiers in our homes back then.
Charlie: Yes, ok so 50 to 60% Bruce is what you want to set that at.
Tom: Yes that’s for Houston.
Charlie: And I’m just want to make it clear about the Nest incase there are Apple haters out there that you know it’s an ok thing to buy. We have three of them and we love them.
Tom: No I’ll put one in my house now.
Charlie: All right in fact ours has taught us that we need to have our system balanced.
Tom: Very cool.
Charlie: Yes.
Tom: You’re going to have to tell me about it, I’m going to give him …
Charlie: Well no I’m not going to you’re going to watch it because we’re going to do a video about it.
Tom: All right, cool.
Charlie: That’s right when Charlie spends money at the house you can be damned sure there’s going to be a video.
Tom: No cuss words, yes that’s awesome man.
Charlie: All right.
