sorry you're Elon Musk I

dishes well I was on the turkey line but

I got demoted for being too generous

with the gravy

fan of Tesla and SpaceX all your

companies of Howard wowit's Caltech nice

to meet you Howard it feels great to

come down here and help the less

fortunate huh oh

people which is

something I realized when I was viewing

Earth from the deck of the International

Space Station where I spent two months

as a payload specialist a job I was

qualified for because I'm an MIT trained

engineer and I thought ey L

gravon sorry it's just you're you I

really want you to adopt me

well you're here on Thanksgiving so

you're probably a good person oh I made

my wife come down

too you think you might ever get back

out to

space is that a job offer cuz I really

want to go to Mars assuming I can bring

my wife she hardly takes up any room

she's basically a

carryon well we're not quite there yet

but we're always looking for engineers

so let me give you my email we can stay

in touch thank you

oh look someone hardly touched their

pumpkin pie want to share it with

me a a partially eaten piece of pumpkin

pie from a homeless shelter with Elon

Musk you bet I do
