Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

And I can't do it, and so I'm not going to do it.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

That's correct.

Acquired

But they're just, you know, except for the scripted ones, which I do throw myself into, it really is, I do no preparation, and it is a conversation.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

And I don't do very much of those.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

The scripted ones, I do put time into.

Acquired

And...

Acquired

But it's a different sort of thing than what you're doing.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

It tends to be a very narrow little story that I'm telling.

Acquired

You didn't start out, though.

Acquired

They were 40 minutes long to an hour 20.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

But that's not where you start.

Acquired

So let's just say for people who don't know, where you start is you're two guys who've met each other and got a crush on each other.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

You love being with each other.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

And you get this idea that it would be really cool to do a podcast on corporate acquisitions that worked.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

Yeah.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

Bad idea.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

Well, it is an idea.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

It was a starting space.

Acquired
10 Years of Acquired (with Michael Lewis)

You could easily have started the opposite, the corporate acquisitions that didn't, and you'd have had much more material.
