[170.74 --> 171.20] I gotta go.
[171.58 --> 172.22] Okay, all right.
[172.52 --> 172.92] That was great.
[172.92 --> 174.00] You know, that was on my list.
[174.20 --> 177.26] And that's funny because I felt very confident
[177.26 --> 179.18] that that would be on no one else's list.
[179.42 --> 179.98] Excuse me.
[180.02 --> 182.34] I thought about ordering some old Silicon Wafers
[182.34 --> 184.50] for the office to hang from the ceiling.
[184.54 --> 185.36] Oh, my God, you should do that.
[185.38 --> 185.92] Turn around, Brian.
[186.00 --> 186.52] Yeah, exactly.
[187.44 --> 189.14] Okay, so that obviously all three,
[189.26 --> 190.90] that moment spoke to all three of us.
[190.90 --> 192.30] Why did that moment speak to you so much, Jess?
[193.20 --> 194.70] The image of it, honestly.
[195.34 --> 196.42] And I would love doing that.
[196.54 --> 198.40] It feels like, and I don't know,
[198.44 --> 200.10] it was like the way he described it.
[200.52 --> 201.88] I mean, so for those of you
[201.88 --> 202.98] who may not have caught this moment,
[203.06 --> 205.04] this is with Amir Michael describing
[205.04 --> 208.46] hanging Silicon Wafers in his bedroom
[208.46 --> 209.92] as a child, like a fifth grader.
[210.36 --> 212.00] And just like the way he described it,
[212.06 --> 213.32] I felt like I'm in the bedroom.
[213.56 --> 213.72] Totally.
[213.92 --> 214.96] It was so evocative.
[215.34 --> 216.80] And there was so much.
[216.84 --> 218.36] It's like I was a kid in Silicon Valley.
[218.56 --> 219.38] I mean, it was so-
[219.38 --> 220.16] Why didn't I do that?
[220.24 --> 220.76] It was so good.
[221.06 --> 221.26] Right.
[221.36 --> 221.92] Well, and actually,
[222.02 --> 223.02] you're the anomaly, Stephen,
[223.10 --> 223.38] that at least,
[223.56 --> 224.46] well, you grew up in the Bay Area,
[224.54 --> 225.34] not really Silicon Valley,
[225.44 --> 226.20] growing up in the East Bay.
[226.30 --> 226.82] But we, I mean,
[226.96 --> 228.48] for most of us who are out here,
[228.54 --> 229.52] we did not grow up out here.
[229.74 --> 230.20] Yeah, that's true.
[230.40 --> 232.16] And Amir is unusual in that regard.
[232.26 --> 234.64] He's a true child of Silicon Valley.
[234.72 --> 236.30] I just thought that was a very evocative moment.
[236.38 --> 237.86] So yeah, Jess, you were right to fear it.
[237.98 --> 238.16] Yeah.
[238.40 --> 239.08] No, that's-
[239.08 --> 240.08] That's why you wanted to go early.
[240.08 --> 240.86] I thought I was less fearful of, so.
[240.88 --> 241.48] God, I know.
[241.58 --> 242.54] I am now terrified.
[242.54 --> 244.18] I actually, I was convinced
[244.18 --> 245.40] that none of mine were going to get stolen.
[245.54 --> 246.74] And now, all right, Steve.
[246.74 --> 248.34] Probably should have written down more than five.
[249.24 --> 251.46] One of the, I mean, just right off the jump,
[251.62 --> 253.10] the interview with Jeff Rothschild
[253.10 --> 256.96] and hearing him describe his path into Intel
[256.96 --> 259.52] was one that was just fascinating for me.
[259.62 --> 260.52] Oh my God, that was amazing.
[260.52 --> 263.72] And hearing about, you know, one,
[263.86 --> 267.30] how the memory manufacturing process,
[267.30 --> 269.68] you've got a lot of defects that you can't use,
[269.68 --> 272.34] how that got repackaged into a solid state product.
[272.44 --> 277.48] And then that product being slower than fixed head disk
[277.48 --> 280.00] and this creating a billion dollar issue for Intel.
[280.00 --> 282.50] And at the time he happens to be interviewing
[282.50 --> 285.74] and confidently says, oh yeah, I can fix that.
[285.88 --> 289.04] And then leaves, goes back to Honeywell, right?
[289.04 --> 289.78] Oh yeah, right.
[289.78 --> 291.74] Yeah, and goes back and then sees
[291.74 --> 293.46] in like a published report
[293.46 --> 295.60] that the person that he had interviewed with was saying,
[295.72 --> 298.70] you know, yes, we did have a supply issue.
[298.94 --> 300.98] We've actually resolved it to the market.
[301.08 --> 302.30] Basically big market announcement
[302.30 --> 304.66] and that the resolution was that they had hired Jeff
[304.66 --> 305.32] and he didn't know it.
[305.46 --> 306.60] Right, he's like, oh, I guess they don't need me.
[306.64 --> 307.56] He's like, oh, I guess I don't need to,
[307.58 --> 308.20] I don't need to go back.
[308.52 --> 310.44] It's like, oh no, it's the exact opposite of that actually.
[310.50 --> 310.86] You're the fix.
[311.00 --> 311.76] You're the fix, pal.
[312.10 --> 314.08] Yeah, that story was amazing.
[314.34 --> 316.24] And that's one of those where you want to have it
[316.24 --> 318.78] almost videoed, not for the way,
[318.78 --> 320.24] for the way he was telling it, yes,
[320.38 --> 323.40] but the three of us were legitimately slack-jawed.
[323.46 --> 323.56] Yeah.
[323.92 --> 326.96] I mean, that was just like a mouth agape,
[327.12 --> 330.18] like, oh my God, it was amazing.
[330.66 --> 333.46] And that was, I mean, so many of his stories were incredible.
[333.46 --> 335.68] And again, I mean, back to the common themes,
[335.84 --> 337.68] it's like, you know, in each one of these,
[337.74 --> 340.86] there were so many chunks where we were just soaking it in.
[341.04 --> 344.00] I mean, just hearing these stories that go back decades
