How Long Gone. Beautiful day here in Palo Alto, Jason. I'm sitting here on the ninth floor of the Four Seasons, staring out into the mountains. I see the water. I also see the backside of an Ikea and Amazon building as well. So I feel like I'm getting the full kind of experience so far so good.
Jason Stewart (1:08)
Okay. You got the front side and the back side of P. Alto. And I think that's pretty cool. You're obviously there for AI related business. Shout out to all of our people in the space.
So you're up there, you're star linking. You took the, did you go LAX to SFO? No, you didn't have the wherewithal or the presence of mind to do burping, did you?
Chris Black (1:32)
Well, none of these, I should have honestly, because it wasn't that bad. I don't really mind. Well, I didn't run a car because this trip was so quick. So if I don't have to return the car, it really, the LAX thing, it took 45 minutes, it wasn't that terrible.
It wasn't the end of the world.
Jason Stewart (1:51)
I was bummed we drove in my car a couple of days ago. I just washed it this morning finally. I just finally had the chance, so I felt bad that we were stepping out on the town with a dirty whip.
Chris Black (2:02)
It was honestly, riding in your car, it felt like we were teenagers, kinda. I feel like I never do that for some reason. I feel like you never drive me around as much as you like driving.
Jason Stewart (2:24)
It's true. It doesn't work out that much anymore. I mean, once you get older, everyone just goes, you meet at the spot. You know what I mean? Everyone's like, I'll see you there and I'll go home.
Chris Black (2:35)
It's weird though, because when you dropped me off at everyone, you did ask me for gas money, which I was going to not. I wasn't going to bring up, but I guess since you.
Jason Stewart (2:43)
I accept digital tips now. Cash is always preferred, but I can't do digital.
Chris Black (2:48)
Sit down and you just put a Venmo sticker on the dashboard for me to scan when I get in the car.
Jason Stewart (2:54)
Mr. Black, was there something wrong with the ride today?
SPEAKER_4 (2:57)
Yeah, I did something.
Chris Black (2:59)
I thought the air conditioning was at the right temperature that you requested. Is there something wrong?
Jason Stewart (3:02)
No, actually, speaking of Venmo, Venmo tipping a couple days ago, there was the classic neighborhood lemonade stand, couple of local kids. Yeah, nice, nice. I was walking the dog, get my relax on, working on my circadian rhythms, and these kids started screaming at me.
Lemonade, basically forcing me to go over there, and they were selling some pretty good stuff. They had little chomp sticks. Pretty good stuff. They had seaweed snacks.
Chris Black (3:30)
Bitch, that's not good stuff. I want homemade. They're getting that shit from Costco and marking it up. That's not, no, I want homemade cookies.
SPEAKER_4 (3:37)
I want homemade shit.
Jason Stewart (3:39)
They had no lemonade, but it was only it was only CPG products. But I mean, I also only want homemade. But like, I don't think people sell like homemade shit like that anymore, unless you're like a true street vendor.
Chris Black (3:52)
Like kids aren't, I saw some, I saw some kids actually over the summer in the Hamptons. It looked homemade. Some of the lemonade, which would make sense because the nanny helps them do it, you know, and they don't really have to. The parents aren't around to deal with that.
Jason Stewart (4:04)
I mean, does if I was selling shit on the side of the road, people are going to look at me and be like, I don't know if, did you wash your hands, King? Like, what's going on? Yeah, that's true. But anyway, they're like, you know, come by, they had these yogurt snacks that Carolyn's like, oh, those are actually really like, the girlies are eating those for the probiotics or whatever.
