That's very different than an interview show where you have a great guest on where everybody knows their name and you interview them and then you say, so long, folks, and you sign off. There are many of those shows and there are many excellent, excellent of those shows. Occasionally, we do have the opportunity to interview someone like Jensen, like Charlie.
like Dara from Uber, where we have covered the business in the past, or perhaps someone like Howard Schultz is willing to spend the five, six hours with us that it takes to do our standard format with them present. But what we've basically done is we've decided that the main show, with few exceptions, is for doing our core four-hour format of David and I together.
Occasionally, we will follow that up with an interview with the protagonist after we've had a chance to really do our thing. But that kind of leaves us with a whole bunch of opportunity to do great interviews, but just that are not quite acquired. And so ACQ2 has really become the place where we're doing all of that now.
And so if you like interviews like the one we did with the Synopsys founder and the Synopsys CEO to kind of do a deep dive on the state of semis today, or the next one we have coming out as an interview with Joe Montana, who managed to shift from being one of the best football players of all time. many-time Super Bowl MVP. To a really excellent venture capitalist. To an exceptional investor, yes.
And we've got several other public company CEOs lined up that we're going to be doing on ACQ2 soon. So while Dave and I are taking some time to breathe, prep for the arena show, if you're feeling like you want to experience some more acquired and you've already gone through the back catalog, ACQ2 is the place to tune in for those as they come out.
All right. So we may have to start doing this on the show, or we may hear a revolt if we start doing this. I don't know. Now that you and I both have small children, there's like a whole second category of goods that are parent-related. Baby carve-outs.
Parent carve-outs. So I'll do my parent carve-out first. On the holiday special, I gave two stroller recommendations. So in keeping with tradition, I'm doing a third stroller recommendation. My Father's Day gift.
It was. It was a running stroller. Yes. Because it kind of perfectly aligned with my son turning six months old, which is when it's reasonably safe for them to be in a running stroller. And I will tell you, he loves it. Running through the park near our house, the trees whizzing by, whether it's wake time or nap time, it's great. I get the miles in.
I've been ramping up my running again, which is, you know, now that I have a nine-month-old, a thing you can kind of start doing again. Yeah. But the Thule, or Thule? I don't exactly know how to pronounce it. I never know how to pronounce it, yeah. Thule? I'm going to mess it up with my American, but I think it's colloquially referred to in America as Thule.
Yes. The Urban Glide 3 is excellent, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking about running with a small child.
Yeah, I can't imagine pushing that thing up, you know.
All right. Great to know. All right, my adults carve out... I don't know. My carve out that anyone can appreciate is a sunglasses brand called Meller, M-E-L-L-E-R. When I was at my buddy's wedding in Crete earlier this summer, I was out walking around the shops and I forgot my sunglasses because I left super early in the morning.
And I just grabbed these because they were at the store and I was like, oh, those look pretty cool. They are the highest quality lenses that I have ever had in a pair of sunglasses. And maybe it's because I just always buy cheap throwaway sunglasses because I lose them all the time. But $59, polarized.
It's the type of lens where you put them on and you can see things that are further away clearer. Normally, when you put some form of glass in front of your eye, it distorts a little bit.
Right. It's not going to get any better than your own clear eyesight. But I noticed that I put these on and I can suddenly see better than I can with my own plain eyes. So I'm like now a loyalist. Meller, M-E-L-L-E-R, sunglasses.
That's a great question. I mean, my general answer when anyone asks is that SLR Luxottica would be yes, of course it is, just because it's the default answer for all the brands you know.
You know, Ray-Bans and Oakleys and everything. But I don't think so.
I see you are.
Yeah, they look great. But no, I don't think, unless my quick Google was wrong, that I think Mellor is not SLR Luxottica.
All right, on my list. Well, with that, listeners, thank you for tuning in to our Ben and David randomly hop on a call and you get to listen summer mini episode here. We really hope to see you September 10th in San Francisco. We're going to have a blast. Mark Zuckerberg and other special guests will be there. And...
